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.

Ep 168 - Moments with Margaret: How Numerous Crisis Moments Led to Clarity and Prioritizing Self Care.
Welcome back to the Embrace Family Recovery Podcast! Many of you have asked for more solo episodes, so I’m bringing my Moments with Margaret series from YouTube and weaving them into my lineup alongside incredible guest conversations.
Back in 1996, as a student at Hazelden Betty Ford, I was introduced to the term AFGE – Another F’n Growing Experience. These are the painful, challenging moments in life that, while difficult, offer profound opportunities for growth—if we’re willing to lean in, embrace the discomfort, and work through them.
Today, I’m sharing one of my own AFGEs—one of those tough but transformative life experiences. I hope it resonates with you!
