      • 64: Re-Release - Recovery Houses
        As we head into Christmas and the New Year, we realize many families may be seeking treatment for a love one post-holidays. You may know about in-patient and out-patient programs, but what if that’s not an option for your loved one? Or where can your loved one go when they leave treatment but can’t come back home? That’s why we’re re-releasing this episode on recovery houses. We speak with Elliott who works at a recovery facility and is in recovery himself. He shares about his addiction, his role working for a recovery house, and how recovery houses are another option for those trying to get and stay clean.

        • 59. Trust: The Receipts That Set Me Free

          Earning back trust starts small. When her husband was starting his recovery, she couldn't trust his words or actions so she relied on concrete examples of the truth: receipts. This physical proof that he was keeping his word was the foundation of earning back that trust. Katie will talk about her relationship with her husband, how the trust was broken in their relationship and give examples of ways to get it back. 

          Katie presented at the Soul Recovery Event hosted by Our Story Their Addiction in September 2021. Today we share her presentation as we know trust is such a crucial element in any relationship.
