Nothing will ever come close to opiate addiction. When you're trying to mask some of the stuff that you have to deal with internally, you can only go so far to self medicating and micro dosing certain things, especially when it's not from a doctor.
Ever wondered what it takes to face your demons head-on? In this episode of 'An Addictive Perspective', Matt and Josh sit down with Abbott, a friend from San Diego, who opens up about his personal battles with drugs and alcohol. Abbott doesn't hold back as he shares the raw and real moments of his addiction journey, from the highs and lows to the steps he's taken towards recovery.
The conversation dives deep into the struggles of self-medicating and the internal battles that often accompany substance abuse. Abbott's story is not just about addiction; it's about resilience, facing fear, and finding the courage to ask for help. Alongside serious discussions, they also touch on lighter topics like Navy Seal experiences and spear fishing adventures, showing that recovery is a multifaceted journey.
One standout moment is when Abbott emphasizes the importance of seeking support: 'When I don't know what to do or I don't know why something's happening, I call somebody who's been there'. This episode offers a heartfelt look at the complexities of addiction and the strength it takes to overcome it. It's a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration or understanding in their own journey to sobriety.
