If you're listening and you think you're an addict of any kind, go get some help, or at least go find the baseline of where you are, because for of my addiction, I never could have gone to the place I went, but I got so sick I did, and if I can go there, anybody can.
Imagine being at the pinnacle of your career, only to see it all crumble due to addiction. In this episode of The Drunkalogues, host Nick Morton sits down with Joshua Shea, an entrepreneur from Lewiston Auburn, Maine, whose life took a dramatic turn due to alcoholism and porn addiction.

However, his success masked a growing struggle with addiction that eventually led to his downfall. Joshua's candid conversation with Nick offers a raw look at how addiction can impact anyone, regardless of their achievements.

After hitting rock bottom, Joshua found the strength to seek help and start his journey to recovery.
He shares valuable insights into the importance of recognizing one's baseline in addiction and the role of spiritual healing in his recovery process. Joshua's message is clear: no matter how far you've fallen, recovery is possible.
