How to Talk About Addiction Without Pushing Someone Away — And How G3 Recovery Is Changing the Conversation in Austin

A recent Psychology Today article titled “How to Steer a Loved One With a Substance Use Disorder to Change” underscores a challenging reality: “No one dealing with a substance use disorder wants to be suffering.” The piece emphasizes that changing your own behavior can be the catalyst for your loved one to change theirs.

In Austin, Texas, G3 Recovery Interventions & Consulting is embodying this compassionate approach. Founded by Matt and Hannah Gibson, both in long-term recovery, G3 Recovery offers a family-centered approach to addiction intervention and support.

From Personal Struggles to Purposeful Support

Matt and Hannah's personal journeys through addiction and recovery deeply inform their work. Hannah overcame alcoholism in her late teens and early twenties, committing to treatment after an intervention in 2013. Matt battled severe addiction throughout his twenties, leading to homelessness before finding recovery in 2017. Their experiences have instilled in them a profound empathy for individuals struggling with addiction and their families.

“We’ve walked in your shoes,” says Matt. “Our mission is to bring families back together by turning pain into purpose and struggles into strengths.”
