If we can help others be more accepting of people's flaws and mistakes, and if they can have a popular figure to look up to, they can feel inspired the way that Jordan Peterson or Joe Rogan inspires me.
Addiction can feel like an unstoppable force, but in this episode of 'Learning to Lose', Patrick Ridge, Billy, and guest Oleg share their raw and unfiltered experiences with sobriety and mental health. They dive deep into the uncontrollable nature of addiction, whether it’s alcohol, drugs, or even food, and how it impacts not just individuals but their families too.
With 14 years of sobriety under his belt, Patrick discusses the importance of filling the void left by addiction with meaningful work and the power of sharing personal stories. The trio also touches on the significance of accepting cultural differences and embracing our flaws and mistakes. Patrick's hope is that by being open about their journeys, they can inspire others just as figures like Jordan Peterson or Joe Rogan have inspired him.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation that offers a fresh perspective on addiction and finding motivation in unexpected places.
