On this episode of That’s Healthful, my guest is Memphis singer, songwriter, and musician, Devan Yanik. Devan is an audio/visual technician at the University of Memphis. Devan openly shares the story of addiction in his family – namely his father, a small-town physician in Oklahoma. When we talk about resilience – this is it.

Devan discusses how his father’s addiction to alcohol and drugs affected him, his siblings, his other and even the small town where Dr. Yanik practiced medicine. We briefly touch on opioid addiction today and the differences between the 1970s and 1980s versus the crisis that is on our hands in the United States, currently. Devan discusses the experience of going through Al-Anon with his family while his father was going through rehab.

More about Devan Yanik:
I am a musician/songwriter in the Memphis area. I was raised in a musical family in the small town of Hominy, Oklahoma, and over many decades have continued to hone my craft. I have been a part of many bands, performed as a solo musician, worked as an audio engineer, scored my first full-length motion picture, and recorded all of it from my own studio.
