We overemphasize sexual abuse and childhood trauma to be the end-all-be-all, but most clients' biggest deals are divorce. We need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and do something with our lives. - Bob Forrest
Bob Forrest and Chuk Davis bring you an unfiltered conversation in Episode 127 of 'Don't Die Podcast'. Bob kicks things off with updates about Aloe Treatment Centers and then takes a trip down memory lane, sharing stories from his college radio days and his short-lived basketball career. It's a mix of nostalgia and hard truths that only Bob can deliver. The duo doesn't shy away from tough topics.
They dive into the challenges of drug addiction and recovery, touching on the devaluation of CADC trained techs by insurance companies. Bob offers a fresh perspective on the often-overlooked aspects of addiction treatment, suggesting that issues like divorce might be more significant for many clients than childhood trauma or sexual abuse. But it's not all heavy. There's a sprinkle of humor as they discuss why kids today might not make good hobos and reflect on the legacy of Little Richard.
For anyone grappling with addiction or working in the field, this episode is a treasure trove of insights and real talk. Bob’s message is clear: stop feeling sorry for yourself and take action. Tune in for an honest look at the complexities of addiction and the journey to recovery.
