Hosts Dave and Chris welcome Darren Prince, who takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through his career highs and personal lows. Darren's tale is a raw account of how addiction can strike anyone, no matter how successful they appear on the outside.
From managing big names in the entertainment industry to battling a crippling opioid addiction, Darren's journey is a testament to the unpredictable nature of substance abuse. Alongside Darren, we have Amy Dresner, the author of 'My Fair Junkie', who brings her own blend of humor and honesty. Amy dives into her latest struggles and reflects on her path to sobriety.
