I do not regret them. I've had happy times on drink. I've had happy times on drugs, and I'm not ashamed to say that, because that's a part of my story.
What happens when two women who’ve faced addiction head-on decide to share their stories? You get 'Hooked: The Unexpected Addicts', a podcast that’s as real as it gets. In this preview episode, hosts Melissa Rice and Jade Wye open up about their own battles with addiction. From the euphoric highs to the crushing lows, they lay it all out on the table.
They also talk about the importance of seeking help, the dangers of living in denial, and how addiction affects not just the individual but also their loved ones. The stigma surrounding addiction is another hot topic they tackle, offering their perspectives on why it's so harmful. Support groups and self-care are highlighted as vital components of recovery, giving listeners a sense of hope and direction.
This episode sets the stage for a series that promises to be both eye-opening and supportive, breaking down stereotypes and providing a platform for real recovery stories.
