This is for you if…

• You feel emotionally drained, anxious, or constantly on edge

• You’ve tried everything—tough love, support, boundaries—and still feel stuck

• You’re unsure how to help without enabling

• You feel like you're losing yourself in someone else's recovery

• You crave connection, clarity, and peace in the middle of the chaos

The Family Reconnect Program is a 12-week experience designed just for you—the parent, partner, sibling, or friend who’s walking this journey beside someone struggling with addiction.

You want to support them.

But you also want to feel safe, sane, and whole again.

This is how you get there.

Tom Conrad is a Certified Addiction Counselor and the host of Real Recovery Talk, a podcast dedicated to helping families and loved ones navigate addiction.

As the show's host and counselor, Tom speaks from his experiences of having multiple years of sobriety and helping thousands of families.

Tom was born and raised on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended a technical school and worked as an auto technician for 10 years, which involved a lot of drinking and drug use.
