Episode 65 | Love, Relapse, and the Call That Changes Everything

Matt Bair and Ryan Hedrick take a look at how complicated it can be to care for someone in recovery. The relationship shifts, emotions run high, and boundaries can blur — especially when the phone rings and it’s your loved one on the other end. Whether they’re trying to stay clean, have slipped back, or the roles have reversed and now you’re the one calling them, Matt and Ryan talk through how addiction and recovery change both people. This episode explores the before, during, and after of recovery — and what it really takes to stay connected through it all.
