In this episode, Ganel-Lyn discusses addiction recovery with Jason Coombs, a recovered addict, and author of the new book, ‘Unhooked: How to Help an Addicted Loved One Recover.' Jason is also the founder of Brick House Recovery, an addiction recovery center that specializes in support for addicts as well as their families.Jason opens up about his path into addiction, and the subsequent fight to recover. He shares his belief that there is always hope to overcome addiction, but it requires faith. “If you're going to talk about the dark, you can't NOT talk about the light. What we're addressing is: How do we help people lean into the light?” Some important things to know about addicts are:They are usually filling a void in their life with an addiction. Addiction changes people, and makes them disconnect from others and become almost entirely self-serving. They choose addictions because of the benefits; in order to help them stop, you must explore the cost/benefit relationship with them. They can become very dishonest, which can be the most painful part for loved ones.Addicts tend to minimize the problem in their minds, so denial from loved ones can reinforce the disease. Listen when someone comes to you with an admission.Jason says, “To the families of those struggling: There is hope. Hundreds of thousands of people have recovered from this.” He also shares that, as a loved one of an addict, some things you can to today to create hope are: Get yourself healthy and empowered. Know where you end and others begin; remember that you are not your struggling family member. When you feel that you can reach out in love, not fear; in hope, not despair; in compassion and empathy, not depression or anxiety, then you can influence positively. You don't have control of others, but you DO have influence.Ganel-Lyn closes by reminding those who are struggling that you can find God in your darkest places.You can find out more about Jason, his book, or his recovery program, go to:https://www.facebook.com/brickhouserecovery/ brickhouserecovery.com@brickhouserecoveryOr for those battling addictions, join The Recovery Movement group on Facebook.

When I think about someone listening to this show, I imagine each guest reaching out of the phone to offer the listener something we all desperately need: the ability to believe that we are capable of accomplishing great things and creating a huge impact. And today's guest, Jason Coombs, has a profound story that I believe will do just that. Jason Coombs is the Founder of Brick House Recovery, a faith-based addiction treatment center in Boise, Idaho – and Jason himself is living proof that this program works. After a car accident, Jason was offered his first Oxycontin (crushed up and in a line) and an opportunity to get his own prescription. A few months later, the FBI and DEA knocked on his door to serve him four felonies and a misdemeanor… and that wasn't even the worst of it. The fraudulent doctor's office that prescribed Jason was the center of the largest Oxycontin ring in history, and after it was gone hundreds of addicts had nowhere else to go. So they went to the black market, where prices skyrocketed and Jason drained his bank account. Eventually, Jason moved on to heroin – a cheaper and more available alternative. Jason tried to control his drug use for nearly ten years, attempting five treatment programs and failing. He was taught “what” addiction was, “where” it could lead, and “why” it was destructive to him, but something was missing. Finally, following the program he now shares with others through Brick House Recovery, Jason and his family learned how to put the disease into remission, one day at a time. Now, clean and sober for many years, Jason passes on this faith-based approach to his clients and their families. We all get to decide whether what we've been given is a gift or not. We all get to control the narrative of our own life and how we share it with others – and we can choose to use our stories to make a huge, positive impact. -- Resources: Learn more at brickhouserecovery.com -- We are brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full-service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.
