Talking to an addicted loved one is one of the hardest things a family will ever do. The tone, the wording, the timing — all of it matters. In this episode, Sam Davis and Matt Brown break down how communication can either calm the situation or pour gasoline on it. We get into: • Why your words to yourself matter just as much as the words you say to them • How families accidentally make things worse without realizing it • How to talk to an addicted loved one without arguing, rescuing, or chasing • What communication looks like when you’re clear, calm, and firm • Why shifting your language shifts the whole dynamic • The origin of our family support groups and why they’ve become the most valuable space online for families in crisis This episode is sponsored by Intervention On Call, the largest family-support platform in the intervention space.
