I had an irrational and indefinable fear of living without drugs because I didn't want to do it
In this episode of Podcast Recovery, hosts David O. and Eric V. are joined by their friend Brad W. to tackle part three of their series 'Am I An Addict?' The trio delves into the Narcotics Anonymous IP number seven pamphlet, answering a range of questions designed to help individuals reflect on their own substance use.
With a mix of humour and heartfelt honesty, they share personal stories that many can relate to, from early experiences with drugs to the shame and guilt that often accompany addiction. Brad opens up about his teenage years, recounting how he would steal small amounts of money just to buy weed, and how those actions quickly led to feelings of guilt and defensiveness.
The conversation takes a deeper turn as they discuss the heavier substances they later used, like opiates and cocaine, and the extreme measures they took to support their habits. The episode isn't just about the dark times; it's also about the journey towards recovery. David, Eric, and Brad talk about the positive changes they've experienced since getting clean, like reduced anxiety and improved relationships.
They also touch on the irrational fears they had about living without drugs and how overcoming those fears has been a significant part of their recovery. Listeners are encouraged to answer the questions along with the hosts, making it an interactive experience. Whether you're questioning your own relationship with substances or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of community. Tune in for a candid discussion that balances raw honesty with a touch of humour.
Why should you listen? Because it's not just about addiction; it's about finding hope and strength in recovery. So grab your headphones and join the conversation—your journey to recovery might just start here.
