In this enlightening episode of 'I Love Being Sober,' host Tim Westbrook welcomes Christopher Doyle, a seasoned interventionist and founder of Why Intervention. Doyle, who has dedicated his career to helping families navigate the turbulent waters of addiction, shares his revolutionary approach to intervention. A retired New York City firefighter and former Head Substance Abuse Counselor for the FDNY, Chris Doyle brings a wealth of experience and compassion to the table.
He discusses his 'Stop Dreaming Framework' and 'Four-Part Connection Formula,' tools he developed to help families shift their dynamics and guide loved ones toward recovery. Contrary to the traditional portrayal of intervention as a harsh process, Doyle emphasizes the importance of compassionate, personalized coaching. He explains how intervention can be a powerful tool for change, helping families implement effective strategies to encourage their loved ones to seek help.
Doyle’s approach focuses on shifting the family dynamic rather than confronting the addicted individual directly. Throughout the episode, Doyle shares poignant personal experiences, highlighting the deep impact of sobriety on his life, especially during challenging times. He recounts the tragic loss of his son and how his recovery tools helped him cope without resorting to substance use.
