Brook McKenzie is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, author, and CEO of the nation's only long-term treatment program dedicated exclusively to chronic relapse. For more than a decade, he has worked with families caught in the chaos of addiction, blending professional expertise with lived experience to offer a perspective that is both practical and deeply human. His book, You're Waiting on You: Why Real Recovery Starts with You-Not Them, challenges families to stop waiting for the addict to change first and instead take ownership of their own choices, boundaries, and healing. With a direct, no-nonsense voice, Brook shows families how to break free from cycles of enabling and despair, offering a clear path toward lasting recovery. Brook's work has been featured in podcasts, television, professional trainings, and family education programs, where he speaks candidly about addiction, accountability, leadership, and faith. He is particularly known for his ability to connect with families who feel like they have tried everything-and are running out of hope. He lives in Texas with his wife and two young sons. When he's not working with families, Brook finds purpose in fatherhood, faith, and the everyday practice of living what he teaches.
