Busting Addiction and Its Myths

The purpose of our podcast is to help families learn the truth about addiction and alcoholism so that they can take the right action to help the addict they love and to help themselves at this critical time in their lives. Exposing the truth about addiction and alcoholism also requires that we bust the myths surrounding both addiction/alcoholism and the recovery process.

Interview with Tomas – Personal Adventures Before We Woke Up

Season 4 – Episode 05

Tomas, I want to make this into two episodes while we have you here with us today. The first episode we will devote to the part where we call our personal adventures before we woke up.

I would like the second half to be about what happened to wake you up, how you are staying clean and sober today, and what your ambitions for the future are. I would also like our audience to know more about how Al Anon has helped you and your family if that’s the case.

B: Walk us through your early years and how you first discovered the mind- altering substance that started you on the path.

T: I lived in a home where both parents were alcoholic in the extreme and everything around me steered me into alcohol and drugs.

B: How, if in any way, did your use of your drug of choice (if you got there by now) affect your education, your job, you family, your friends?
