In this episode, I’m reintroducing myself — especially to those of you who’ve started following me recently.

For years, addiction controlled my life. I went to treatment multiple times. I burned bridges. I put my family through hell. And like a lot of families, mine didn’t know what to do… when to step in… or how to stop enabling without abandoning me.

But eventually something changed.

In this video I share:

• Where my addiction started (and what I didn’t understand at the time)

• How many times I went to treatment — and why it didn’t work

• What my family finally did differently that helped shift everything

• How I entered behavioral health and became an interventionist

• What I’ve learned from years of interventions and working with families

• Why I created Intervention On Call

• What we offer today — and how we help families take action faster

If you’re trying to help someone you love, I hope this brings you clarity, hope, and a real path forward.

In this recorded roundtable discussion, a group of professional interventionists come together to discuss recent, widely reported events involving the Reiner family.

We do not claim to know the facts of the case, make allegations, or offer conclusions about individuals involved. Our discussion is based solely on what has been publicly reported and on patterns we routinely see in our professional work.

Topics include repeated treatment attempts, family exhaustion, mental health versus addiction diagnoses, housing decisions, public misunderstanding of recovery, and the limitations of involuntary commitment laws — including how current statutes may leave families with few viable options.

This conversation is educational and systems-focused, not speculative or accusatory.

There’s a massive divide in the recovery world right now.

One side says “tough love kills people.” The other says “boundaries save lives.” Both sides are right — and both sides are dangerously wrong.

In this video, I break down:

• Why total abandonment pushes people toward the most dangerous tribes

• Why enabling disguised as compassion keeps families trapped

• The difference between abandonment and structured, loving boundaries

• Why families need to offer an exit ramp, not a rescue mission

• How real communication + real boundaries actually work

This isn’t about kicking someone out. It’s not about cutting them off. And it’s not about pretending consequences don’t exist. It’s about keeping the family intact without feeding the addiction.
