When they say it's a disease, which sometimes I don't like to say it's a disease, I just look at it as like the synapses in my brain do not allow me to just have one line or one drink.
Ever wondered what it's like to battle addiction while being in the public eye? Darrell Hammond, famous for his time on Saturday Night Live, shares his deeply personal journey with addiction on this episode of Keepin' It Friel. From his struggles with various substances to the pivotal moment he realized he needed help, Hammond doesn't hold back.
He opens up about viewing addiction as a malfunction of the brain's synapses rather than a traditional disease and how trauma played a significant role in his battle. Diagnosed with complex PTSD, Hammond sheds light on how addressing his trauma was crucial to his recovery. His candid conversation with host Courtney Friel also delves into the social dynamics of addiction and the critical role empathy plays in the recovery process.
Hammond's story is a powerful reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate and that sobriety can lead to greater achievements and a better life. Whether you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
