It’s a familiar, but true, saying: recovery is about breaking cycles. Jeff and Debra Jay know this better than most. Together, they’ve been doing pioneering work in the areas of family recovery and intervention for decades. Their book, Love First is the essential work on the family recovery dynamic. It’s now in its third printing and it’s a powerful roadmap for harnessing the power of family and friends to help a loved one accept treatment.Debra’s book, It Takes a Family, is a ground-breaking introduction to Structured Family Recovery®. In it, she demonstrates the interconnectedness of addiction inside a family structure, and provides mountains of good news and hope - both for the person who is suffering - and the people around them. Jeff and Debra Jay also happen to be married - and they’ve made the family health and recovery their life’s work. This is one of those episodes that NEEDS to be shared with the people you know who are at their wits end. Jeff and Debra are the real deal and we’re so glad to welcome them to Tell Me Something True. Resources:Love First - Jeff & Debra Jay’s siteStructured Family RecoveryBooks by Jeff & Debra Jay (with several free samples to download and share)If you care about these kinds of conversations, we hope you’ll become a TMST Plus member.  Episode link: https://www.tmstpod.com/episodes/61-jeff-and-debra-jay-on-intervention-and-family-recoverySpotify playlist for this episode: Here’s the transcript: https://tell-me-something-true.simplecast.com/episodes/jeff-debra-jay-on-intervention-family-recovery/transcriptTell Me Something True is a 100% independent podcast.
