I really experienced how you kind of pick up addiction right where you leave it off.
Picture this: a comedian known for his biting wit and sardonic humor, now opening up about his struggles with childhood trauma and addiction.

But behind the laughs lies a deeper story of pain, relapse, and recovery. Eddie doesn't shy away from the hard truths.
He candidly discusses how the ACA laundry list helped him identify destructive patterns rooted in his traumatic childhood. The pandemic threw him into a relapse, but Eddie's journey back to sobriety is nothing short of inspiring. He talks about the role spirituality played in his recovery, offering a glimpse into how he found peace amidst chaos. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or the lingering effects of a difficult upbringing.
Eddie’s blend of humor and raw honesty makes for a conversation that’s both enlightening and deeply moving. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that proves even in the darkest times, laughter can be a powerful tool for healing.
