Barney's Battle: A Mother's Heartfelt Journey Through Addiction and Loss

I always say to anyone: anyone out there in recovery is fighting a battle that most people have no idea or, and you know, people like you are heroes, because it's a damn hard thing to be doing.
When life takes unexpected turns, it can leave us grappling with unimaginable pain. In this episode of 'The Recovery', DJ Fat Tony sits down with Deb Casserly, who shares the deeply moving story of her son Barney's struggle with addiction. Deb's candid account offers a raw and unfiltered look into the challenges of addiction, the toll it takes on families, and the enduring hope that comes from love and support.
Barney's journey began with MDMA and spiraled into a dependency on ketamine, leading to isolation from those he once held dear. Despite his valiant efforts to seek treatment, the battle proved too great, culminating in a tragic loss. Through Deb's eyes, we witness the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of community in times of crisis.
This episode is a poignant reminder of the power of sharing our stories, the necessity of support, and the enduring strength found in hope. If you're looking for an honest conversation about addiction and its far-reaching impact, this episode is a must-listen.
