Episode Description from the Publisher

Do you have a family member/loved one struggling with addiction? Join Our FREE WEBCLASS! https://familyreconnectprogram.com/optin-page After meeting each other at a liquor store three Sundays in a row waiting for it to open, Don and Nan spent years drowning in addiction together — and somehow got sober at the exact same moment. In this episode, Tom sits down with Don and Nan to talk about what actually worked, why tough love isn't always the answer, and how one father's compassion (instead of consequences) may have been the thing that saved his son's life. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, this episode will challenge everything you've been told about what it takes to get someone sober. 🔗 Join our Family Reconnect Program: https://familyreconnectprogram.com/family-reconnect 📅 Free Family Webinar — Every Monday at 6:30PM Eastern: https://familyreconnectprogram.com/optin-page
