You know, really think about it and, like I said earlier, just dismiss it as quickly as I could, because I just didn't want to make any changes.
Ever wondered how someone can juggle high school and addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Talksicology', hosts Joseph and Gabby sit down with Ben Irwin, the clinical manager for Recovery Unplugged in Austin, to unravel his gripping story. Ben opens up about his adolescent struggles with addiction, the challenges of being labeled a 'Gifted Kid' turned 'Shitty Kid', and his complicated love-hate relationship with his hometown, Houston.
The conversation is raw, real, and filled with moments that will make you think twice about the support systems we often take for granted. Joseph and Gabby also share their end-of-year reflections, delve into the significance of service work within the recovery community, and even debate whether 'Hallelujah' qualifies as a Christmas song. This episode isn't just about addiction; it's about resilience, growth, and the power of community.
If you're looking for a heartfelt narrative that blends serious issues with light-hearted moments, this one's for you.
