I just wanted you to know that I've got a year sober because of you, but because I'm a Muslim and my family they don't know I can't drink blah, blah, blah, so I can't publicly say anything.
Ever wondered who's behind the popular UK Twitter account 'Secret Drug Addict'? Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner sit down with the man himself in this episode of 'Rehab Confidential'. Known for providing anonymous support to thousands, his platform has been hailed by VICE as 'the most helpful anonymous Twitter account'. But who is he really, and what drives him to help others?
From his early days working with bands like Oasis and Nine Inch Nails to answering countless messages from people in crisis, this episode offers a deep dive into his personal journey through addiction and recovery. The conversation also explores the significance of anonymity in recovery, the powerful role social media can play, and the unique challenges of maintaining such a platform. Joe and Amy don't shy away from controversial topics either.
They discuss Governor Pete Ricketts' contentious comments about drinking in a car, which sparked outrage within the recovery community. They also touch on the potential of recovery high schools as a supportive environment for young people battling addiction. With a mix of humor and heartfelt moments, this episode provides a compelling look at how one man's anonymous Twitter account has made a real difference.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the impact of social media on addiction, this episode is packed with insights and stories that will resonate.
