A course for families & loved ones
You've tried to reach them.
Nothing has worked.
There's a reason every conversation so far has ended in silence, an argument, or more distance between you. It's not that you don't love them enough. It's that nobody gave you the right words.
This course gives you those words.
If you're reading this…
You already know how impossible this feels.
Loving someone with an addiction is one of the loneliest, most exhausting things a person can go through. And the hardest part? Not knowing what to say — or whether anything you say will make the slightest difference.
💔You watch them self-destruct and feel completely powerless to stop it
💔Every conversation ends in an argument, tears, or silence — and you walk away feeling worse
💔You're terrified that if you say the wrong thing, you'll push them further away — or over the edge
💔You've tried lectures, ultimatums, pleading, and silence — and nothing has changed
💔You're exhausted, grieving the person they used to be, and running on empty
💔You haven't given up — but you have absolutely no idea what to do next
Why it matters
“Because of Kathy and Brad, I got my life back. And with it, I got to be the father she deserves.”
This photo exists because two people loved me enough to have the right conversation at the right moment. Before Glenelg, I was disappearing behind the TV career, behind the smile — losing time with the people who mattered most.
Making her proud is everything. And it started with one conversation.

A message from Mark
“I didn't need someone to show me the problem. I needed someone to show me a way out. That's what the right conversation can do.”
For years I was a recognisable face, quietly drowning. The people who loved me tried to reach me. None of it worked.
Then one night in Glenelg, it all changed.
What's inside
Six modules. One breakthrough conversation.
Each module is 10–15 minutes. Built from lived experience, on both sides of the conversation.
01Welcome — what this course is and how to use itA short introduction from Mark on the course, how it's structured, and why the order matters. Start here.
02My story — how I ended up on the other sideThe full story of the Glenelg dinner — where Mark was, what was really happening, and the night that changed his life.
03Why conversations go wrong — the three patternsThe lecture, the ultimatum, and the silence — why none of them work, and why that is not your fault.
04What actually works — the five-step frameworkThe exact approach Kathy and Brad used, broken into five practical steps you can adapt for your own conversation.
05What to say — and what never to sayWord-for-word phrases that open people up, and the well-meaning things that shut conversations down — from someone who's heard both.
06Preparing yourself — and looking after yourself afterHow to get ready emotionally and practically before the conversation — and how to care for yourself whatever happens.

A Letter from the Other Side
A personal letter from Mark to the person you love. Written for you to share — if and when the moment is right.
This isn't theory
“Most courses on addiction are written for clinicians, or for the person struggling. This one is different. It's built from the inside out — by someone who lived through it, and came out the other side.”
This course will not cure anyone's addiction. What it will do is give you the best possible chance of opening a door — the kind of door that was opened for Mark on a quiet night in Glenelg.
