"Behind all addiction is some kind of trauma. We have to get to what that is to heal the addiction."

Dana Golden and her ex-husband, David Marion, are the creators of The Life Recovery Coach, and have helped thousands of individuals suffering from addiction and substance abuse, through interventions, recovery coaching, family recovery coaching, public advocacy and more, we are dedicated to helping all individuals suffering from addiction achieve a life of purpose, joy and prosperity.

We're talking today about how to care for addicts in our lives, and for those who live with addicts in the process of recovery and shifting the roles. There are 5 family roles that develop in a family of addiction and Dana breaks those down for us.

Dana Golden studied in the Art Institute MN for Interior Design and Colorado State University. She has been an entrepreneur for more than twenty years. Dana is an advocate for personal development and an avid practitioner of the Law of Attraction. She is the co-author of the NO-BS Guide to Recovery as she has been helping others fight addiction such as her father.

David Marion pursued a degree in Speech Communication at the University of South Florida. He became a Stock Broker in New York. Shortly after, he became the sales manager of one of the biggest companies in Wall Street. Meanwhile, David has been battling addiction since he was nine years old. His success in the corporate world enabled him to escalate his addiction. He sought sobriety in Minnesota. Afterward, he became a Nationally Certified Recovery Coach and Intervention Professional. He was able to touch the lives of people who struggled with addiction. Together with Dana Golden, his ex-wife, David came up with the No BS Guide to Recovery, a book that helps addicts gain sobriety.
