This really is a fatal disease and we're sharing about how our cancer treatment's going well and then some of us die and people, you know, they mock us and they belittle us and they don't give a fuck, you know.
Imagine sitting down with a group of friends who have been through the wringer but come out the other side with stories to tell. That’s what you get in this episode of 'Learning to Lose', hosted by Patrick Ridge, known in the music world as Preston Moronie. With 14 years of sobriety under his belt, Pat brings a wealth of experience and a no-nonsense approach to discussions about addiction, mental health, and the quest for happiness.
This time, he’s joined by Reese, Johnny, and Woody, along with his sponsor and co-host Billy. Together, they dive into the gritty realities of addiction recovery, touching on topics like the Florida Shuffle—a term used to describe the cycle of rehab hopping in Florida—and the evolution of drug addiction. The conversation is raw and unfiltered, offering a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of those battling addiction.
One poignant moment captures the essence of their discussion: 'This really is a fatal disease and we're sharing about how our cancer treatment's going well and then some of us die and people, you know, they mock us and they belittle us and they don't give a fuck, you know'. It's a stark reminder of the harsh judgments faced by those in recovery.
But it’s not all doom and gloom; the episode also highlights the importance of authenticity and mental well-being in the journey towards happiness. Whether you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories that resonate deeply. Tune in for a candid conversation that’s as enlightening as it is engaging.
