Total Obliteration
Manage episode 445210697 series 3498535
In this episode, I talk about the prevalence of addiction. It can affect anyone and definitely does not discriminate. It doesn’t care about your social or economic status and most often than not wants you dead. I also dive into what I call the obliteration phase of addiction. This is way beyond drinking or using to have fun. This is the last stop in addiction where most people find themselves homeless, locked up, or facing serious health issues. I found myself in this place, and could not imagine a life without drugs or alcohol. I was never sober long enough to really experience how amazing recovery can be. There is a place in recovery for everyone that earnestly seeks it. My hope is that more people suffering from addiction find their way into recovery.
