“Let’s recover as a whole family, so that our loved ones have the best possible chance for sustainable recovery” – Kate Duffy
Recovery Conversations™ Immersion is a twelve-month program – a family recovery model launching a national movement in 2020. The program provides live, virtual and in-person opportunities for community, education, coaching and resources for any family committed to the journey of Be-ing The Change they wish to see in their loved one. Families who recover from the years of engrained habits of codependency, entanglement and enabling give their struggling loved one a much greater chance of accessing and keeping recovery and find themselves living a more fulfilled life in the process. This program will offer members the opportunity to be an integral part of this national movement in 2020. Our mission is to disrupt the way we currently engage those who most need our help – those with substance use disorder. The results of this program are unprecedented.
“This is about so much more than recovery from addiction. Kate is teaching us how to connect, to better communicate and how to end patterns I’ve had for years or trying to manage others so I feel better”. – Mother
Recovery is possible for you.
Recovery that begins within the family system creates the optimal environment to inspire recovery and deep healing.
1 Family Centered:
allows everyone the chance to reach their highest potential. Addiction lies, divides, compartmentalizes, justifies and denies and everyone is affected.
2 Community Supported:
no one recovers without a teacher, mentor and community.
3 Education:
addiction is a secondary problem, treat holistically.
4 Connection:
Compassionate Connection rather than fear based disconnection.
BE the recovery you want to see in others.
It’s difficult to ignore being inspired when you’re surrounded by recovery.

Kate Duffy has worked with hundreds of families and has witnessed, and lived, the unbelievable pain and destruction addiction causes.
The success rate of our family coaching program, Recovery Conversations™, is unparalleled.
For the chaos to end, for families to be of maximum support to the person addicted, and to each other, families must position themselves to be recovery oriented, to greet their loved one, and each other, from a place of compassion and recovery versus frustration and fear.
How do you do that? With a professional guiding you, this 12-month program will teach and coach you to respond vs. react, to recover vs. enable, to heal vs. disconnect and will foster health and recovery.
438 people die in the US each day to drug and alcohol addiction.
Be. The. Recovery.
Kate Duffy is a seasoned pro when it comes to supporting individuals and families out of the darkness of addiction and into the light of recovery. She brings to the table a rare combination of direct experience, hard-earned wisdom and a huge heart.
Anyone would be fortunate to have her guide them toward healing and true recovery.
Kate has a natural ability and is extremely effective in the addiction and recovery industry. Kate is bright, attentive, skilled and highly effective at engaging even the most progressed addiction. Kate and I will be collaborating on her Family Program throughout the country at the treatment facilities I have established relationships with over the past 35 years.
There is a tremendous gap in our field and Kate has now gone through the trainings to become a leader in that regard. I am personally supervising Kate and I endorse her ability highly.
A Dad texted:
“Recovery Conversations is saving my family- there are no words.”
A Mom called,
“Kate, she just called me from rehab to say ‘thank you, mom…for saving me…I love you!!’”
A daughter texted from her honeymoon:
“We had such a fantastic and out of this world wedding last weekend. I just wanted to thank you for all your help this last year. My dad was happy and healthy and everyone was so thrilled he was doing so well. Having him sober and happy was one of the best wedding gifts I could have been given.”
About Kate
Kate Duffy has been an inspirational teacher and catalyst for change for over 30 years. In her 20’s she was the founding director of Evergreen Day School, a non-profit early childhood program in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Kate created Evergreen because she wanted a place where the curriculum was initiated by children and a community was created for families. A graduate of Lesley University with a BS in Education, Kate went on to be a consultant and trainer in the field of education.
Kate became passionate about changing the language of recovery after facing her own battle with substance use. Tipping Point Recovery, Inc. opened in 2018 in response to requests from Insurance Companies and Treatment Facilities for recovery coaching, recovery oriented training and interventions.
Kate is creating a movement of families recovering from the sickness of family addiction, for the individuals she’s working with, and now they accompany her when she speaks at treatment facilities. “Its hard enough to scrape up any amount of self-worth to begin the path to wellness, let alone face the wreckage we have caused our families. Families must be part of the solution or we won’t ever get ahold of this”.
Kate is free from all addictions – alcohol and drugs, codependency, cigarettes and now sugar and recognizes all addictions as a desire to ‘leave oneself’. The more progressed the addiction, the greater the desire to leave. At any cost!
“Today, I love and care for myself like I never have, I love my life and am deeply committed to my mission and I’ll die trying to understand why some get it and some don’t.”
Kate’s teachers and mentors – Tommy Rosen, Earl Hightower, Rhys Thomas, Mike Wilson, Sage Lavine & Ryan Eliason- inspire her daily to learn and thrive and to share her growth with those on a similar path.
Recovering families say
The One Question That Changes Every Hard Conversation
Most families come to me asking some version of the same question. How do I get them to stop? It is the wrong question. Not because it does not matter, but because it is not yours to answer. You cannot answer it. And spending your energy there is exactly what keeps...
When She Got Better, He Got Better
This week, one of our clients stood up in front of a room and told her story from the beginning. Three years ago, she was raging. She would find beer her husband hid and pour it over his head. She followed him, checked drawers, set the tone for the entire house, and...
When Did the Dear Family Method Really Begin?
I get asked this a lot: how long has Tipping Point Recovery been around? Honestly, it depends on which moment you count. There was 2015 and 2016, when I was working on-call in the ER doing overdose interventions, watching families get left in the dark while the...
Why You Don’t Need Them Saying “I’m an Addict”
Somewhere along the way, most families pick up the same belief. "The first step is getting them to admit they're an addict." So they wait for that admission. They push for it. They think if they can just get their loved one to say the word out loud, everything else...
She Called Me Into Her Office to Ask About My Data
A number of years ago, the Chief Medical Officer of a large insurance company called me, she wanted to meet. She had been watching the outcomes of people in my program and wanted to know why the people we were working with were recovering at such a high rate. I...
She Lied to Her Mom About the Bed
I was one year sober and working as a case manager in a detox when I met a girl I'll call Amanda. First, a quick distinction that most families don't know: detox is not treatment. Detox is medical stabilization, keeping someone safe through withdrawal, usually five to...
What If I Set a Boundary and They Die?
There's a question I hear more than almost any other, and it's usually said quietly, almost like the person is afraid to say it out loud. But we don’t talk about surface stuff here at Tipping Point so the truth always surfaces. "What if I set a boundary and they...
Celebrating a Chip by Drinking
I want to tell you about a moment early in my recovery that most people would assume was a good one. I was somewhere around 10 days sober. I went to a meeting and I got a chip. When I walked up to get the chip, I could feel that people were going to clap. People...
My First Boundary
Here's the story of the very first boundary I ever set many years ago. Prior to this experience, I hadn't heard the word boundary and let's just say my actions were often based on what I thought others wanted. Unconsciously. I was married and my three kids were young...
