Despite the negative consequences, I never got to the point where I was trying to stop. So if you've ever read, like Cormac McCarthy's The Road or even like some John Grisham stuff, even though it's not like quote, unquote literature, that's kind of the style I wrote it in.
What happens when the high-flying life of a successful lawyer crashes into the harsh reality of addiction? In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Omar Pinto sits down with Joseph W. Naus, a man who has lived through the collision of sex and alcohol addictions. Joseph's journey is nothing short of gripping.
Once a respected civil trial lawyer, his world turned upside down when his addictions led him from courtrooms to handcuffs, eventually landing him in one of the most dangerous prisons in the United States. But this isn't just a story of downfall; it's a testament to human resilience. Joseph talks candidly about his tumultuous upbringing, marked by a young mother battling her own demons, and how those early years set the stage for his later struggles.
His memoir, 'Straight Pepper Diet', captures the rawness of his experiences and the hard-earned wisdom that comes with hitting rock bottom. Listeners will find themselves engrossed as Joseph recounts his journey from despair to hope, sharing how he clawed his way back to sobriety and rebuilt his life. Now, living in Echo Park with his girlfriend and cat, he spends his days writing, helping others in recovery, and perfecting his golf swing.
This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep one's struggles go, there is always a path to redemption and recovery. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the incredible strength it takes to overcome it.
