Welcome to Faded

 A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness, education, and inspiration around the disease of addiction and path to recovery.

How Faded Began

We are a family of five who has tackled life together at every turn. Tim (Dad) and Liz (Mom) were dedicated to raising a family and ensuring there was always music, energy, fun, and learning in our home. Jackie, Megan, and Chris (the "kids") grew up with everything they needed - wonder, excitement, love, curiosity, and unbridled passions fueled by Tim and Liz's encouragement.

And like every family, we've not only enjoyed the highs of life, but have stumbled upon lows as well - what we call our "faded moments". In our case, it's addiction and alcoholism, brought to life through Chris' personal struggle. Chris, after years of battling addiction and alcoholism in his teens, is now a recovered addict who celebrated 9 years of sobriety on March 27. Our family has been through a LOT going through this alongside him, and between what we’ve learned in the experience and his success in sobriety, we have all chosen to do anything we can to shine light on the disease and spread our knowledge of recovery to as many people as possible.

 Part of that passion was the decision to start a podcast, not only to provide education, but in an attempt to bust the conversation wide open. We think you would all agree that just simply being open to hearing about one another’s stories allows us the chance to be a step ahead, every time, and in every case. So we are hoping you’ll be open to this story, and please know we are here to receive any questions as we go. We can’t thank you enough for being interested and willing to continue to learn.
