Guest: Kara Vogt on the CommQuest Hope Discovered Podcast

In this episode, we are joined by Kara Vogt, co-founder of the FATHERS Motorcycle Poker Run, a dedicated member of the Stark County Opiate Task Force for 9 years, a volunteer at CommQuest Services, and an advocate for family addiction and recovery. Kara is also a parent of a person in recovery.

During our conversation, Kara shares insights on two key topics: the impact of addiction on families and the resources available to support them.

She emphasizes that addiction is a chronic disease, one that requires long-term solutions, not quick fixes. Kara also touches on important reminders for family members of those in recovery, such as understanding that addiction is a disease. Families dealing with a loved one’s addiction often face overwhelming chaos, guilt, grief, confusion, anger, and hopelessness. However, Kara highlights the importance of resources like Family Support meetings to help navigate these challenges.
