A Mother's Story of Her Son's Addiction

Tim Ryan, founder of A Man In Recovery Foundation and Chief Marketing Officer of Banyan Treatment Center will be featuring guest Sandy Swenson. Sandy is the mother of two sons—one of whom struggles with addiction. Author of ‘The Joey Song: A Mother’s Story of Her Son’s Addiction,’ Sandy chronicles her journey through the place where love and addiction meet. Sandy lives in suburban Austin, Texas, where she has just finished writing her second book, to be published by Hazelden in the fall of 2017. Sandy is a voice for parents--particularly mothers--of children suffering with the disease of addiction, putting their thoughts and feeling into words. When she isn't writing or speaking at venues across the US, Sandy volunteers at a local maternity home teaching the girls to cook healthy family meals. Sandy also loves to garden, read and travel.”
