The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast
Join host Margaret Swift Thompson a Hazelden Betty Ford counselor for over 20 years in the field of chemical dependency. Along with her guests they will explore the stories, experiences, struggles and victories of people who loves someone with the disease of addiction. The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast was born out of the passion Margaret feels about giving a voice to the family experience, which is rarely heard, and sadly under served. If you love someone who is addicted, grab a cup of coffee and listen to our conversations. You will hear your story and strategies to stop being held hostage by the disease.
