Milestone Moments: Hank's Journey Through Addiction and Recovery
Ignoring things doesn't make them go away. And it's a little bit of Russian roulette to figure out which one is and which one is not.
Reaching a milestone is always a mix of emotions, and for Hank, the voice behind 'Opioid Dad', this episode marks his 50th. Hank takes a deep breath and looks back on his family's tumultuous journey with addiction and recovery. He doesn't sugarcoat the challenges – from bumping into old acquaintances to navigating the daily grind, it's all laid bare. But what really gets Hank's goat is the lack of collective action and support for those caught in the opioid epidemic.
He vents his frustrations, but also clings to hope, underscoring the importance of recovery programs and community support. With his trademark blend of candor and humor, Hank invites listeners into his world, making this episode both engaging and thought-provoking. It's a raw and real conversation that offers a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.
