In short, I would say I had a pretty serious heroin addiction for a long time, even as I try to serve was sort of trying to make something of myself. One of the ways I did that was to start a podcast and talk to people who knew more than I did.
Imagine battling addiction while also struggling to find your true self. This is exactly what Zach Rhoads opens up about in this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle'. Host Jay Shifman sits down with Zach, a counselor and author, to dive into the complex world of substance misuse and identity crises. Zach shares his personal journey through addiction and recovery, shedding light on how financial stability and societal stereotypes play a significant role in one's battle against addiction.
They also discuss the transformative power of podcasting as a platform for honest and educational conversations. Zach, who co-authored 'Outgrowing Addiction' with Stanton Peele, talks about the Life Process Program and its impact on those struggling with addiction. The episode is a treasure trove of insights, from the importance of self-care to the need for systemic change in how society views addiction.
As Zach puts it, 'one of the ways I overcame addiction was to start a podcast and talk to people who knew more than I did'. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand the intricate relationship between identity and addiction, and how open dialogue can pave the way for recovery.
