I see it as an opportunity to avoid going to a funeral. And if I can't help you, I promise you I can find a way to help point you in a direction to get help, because it's everywhere you know and people don't realize that.
The holidays can be a tricky time for anyone dealing with addiction, and that's where Scott Silverman comes in. With 37 years of sobriety under his belt, Scott is not just a Crisis Coach but also a behavioral health advisor who has dedicated his life to helping others find their way through the maze of addiction.
In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Scott sits down with Pete Sousa to share his wealth of experience and offer practical advice for staying sober during the festive season.

His approach is both entertaining and deeply informative, making complex issues accessible and actionable. During their chat, Scott dives into the unique challenges that the holidays bring for those struggling with addiction. From the pressure of social gatherings to the temptation of holiday drinks, he provides strategies to navigate these pitfalls. He also touches on the critical role families play in supporting their loved ones through these tough times.
One of the standout moments in the conversation is Scott's discussion on the dangers of counterfeit drugs and fentanyl. His insights are eye-opening and serve as a stark reminder of the risks that come with addiction. But it's not all doom and gloom; Scott's message is one of hope and resilience. He emphasizes the importance of having the right resources and tools to combat addiction effectively.
As he puts it, "I see it as an opportunity to avoid going to a funeral. And if I can't help you, I promise you I can find a way to help point you in a direction to get help, because it's everywhere you know and people don't realize that". This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, whether directly or indirectly.
Scott's practical advice and heartfelt stories offer a roadmap for navigating sobriety during one of the most challenging times of the year.
