So I think the point is that there's a myriad of ways that alcohol, in its insidiousness, comes into our lives and takes people.
Imagine trading the corporate hustle for the free-spirited life of a Woodstock hippie. That's exactly what Duff McDonald did, and his journey is nothing short of fascinating. In this episode of 'Rehab Confidential', hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner sit down with Duff, a renowned business journalist and author of 'The Golden Passport', to chat about his unique road to sobriety.
Duff opens up about his time at Harvard Business School and how he eventually found recovery in the most unexpected places. From the high-pressure world of business journalism to the laid-back vibe of Woodstock, Duff’s story is a testament to the many paths one can take toward recovery. Joe also chimes in with his own tales of alcoholism and mischievous escapades in Catholic school, adding a touch of humor to the conversation.
The trio doesn't shy away from discussing the tough stuff either, like the often misleading promises of rehab and the complex grip of addiction. They also touch on the use of medicinal marijuana and how addiction can strain relationships. This episode is a candid look at the ups and downs of addiction, with a sprinkle of humor and a whole lot of heart.
Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Duff’s story offers a refreshing perspective on finding your way back to health.
