Twelve Years Sober, How I Kicked Coca*ine Addiction
The podcast features a conversation between two men reflecting on their struggles with addiction and their journeys to recovery.
One shares his experience of spiralling into alcohol and drug abuse from his late teens, hiding the extent of his addiction, and eventually hitting rock bottom—crying in his parents' bed, experiencing withdrawal-induced hallucinations, and realising he needed help.
Both discuss the delusions of addiction, failed attempts to moderate their substance use, and the pivotal moments that led them to seek support through AA and the 12-step programme. They highlight the importance of taking action, the power of surrendering to recovery, and the transformative impact it has had on their lives, relationships, and mental well-being.
The episode ends with a message of hope, encouraging those struggling to reach out for help and take the first step towards a better life.
