Markus Returns: Intervention, Family Dynamics and Addiction

The return of Markus completes this 3 part series on addiction, recovery and sobriety. At the core of it all is ‘tough’ love. In this episode, Markus and Rich ping pong back and forth exploring what it was like for Markus, the role his friends played and the dynamics in the room and with the family. The power of an intervention, the fear that surrounds it from all sides, the availability for anyone to express ‘true’ love and reach out to help and for help. Hiding from whatever deep truth we have is ultimately more painful and destructive than confronting that truth. Markus again courageously opens up in another act of outreach and service, a pattern and one of his many gifts he shares with the world.
