No one gets sober to have a shitty life and be miserable, although it happens all the time.
Imagine your first love being something that ultimately causes you harm. That's the heart-wrenching tale Bridget Phetasy shares in this episode of 'Factory Settings'. Alongside her husband and co-host, Jeren Montgomery, Bridget dives deep into her journey with addiction, starting with an innocent sugar craving that spiraled into a love affair with alcohol and marijuana. She candidly recounts her experiences, from the thrill of her first drink to the darker days of heroin use and the concept of 'junkie pride'.
Bridget doesn't shy away from the raw emotions - the rage at losing control, the shame of wasted years, and the painful process of getting sober. Jeren adds his own experiences to the mix, creating a heartfelt dialogue about the challenges of addiction and the road to recovery. They discuss whether addiction is genetic, why some kids are drawn to psychedelics, and the immense difficulty of facing one's past.
This episode isn't just about their stories; it's about understanding the deep-seated biases that shape our behaviors and finding hope in recovery. Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, Bridget and Jeren's honest conversation offers a beacon of hope.
