Family Sobriety Now Podcast



Live Since March 28, 2024

Welcome to “Family Sobriety Now,” the podcast where we navigate the turbulent waters of addiction with compassion and expertise. I’m your host, Joseph Devlin, and if you’re here because you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, you’ve come to the right place.

Having experienced the chaos of addiction firsthand, I understand the toll it takes on families. But I also know that there’s hope. As someone who walks his own path of recovery and dedicated my career to helping others, I’m committed to guiding families toward healing and stability.

In each episode, we’ll explore vital topics like helping a loved one seek treatment, ensuring the safety of everyone involved, and providing support during the journey to recovery. I’ll share insights from my own experiences as a counselor and treatment center director, along with practical advice from my book, “A Step Out of Darkness: How to Help Someone Enter Addiction Treatment and Walk with Them Through Recovery.”

Through solo episodes and conversations with experts, we’ll delve into warning signs of addiction, root causes, and strategies for fostering understanding and empathy within families. We’ll also hear from families who have faced similar challenges, learning from their successes and setbacks.

My goal is to empower you with knowledge and resources, transforming fear and judgment into solutions and support. Together, we’ll bring calm, peace, and stability back into your home.
