Busting Addiction and Its Myths

The purpose of Safehouse 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 Adam – Part 2

Season 6 – Episode 04

Welcome to our latest season of Busting Addiction and Its Myths. This is Episode #4 of Season Six.

This continuation of our interview with Adam N. covers how his descent actually accelerated just when he thought it couldn’t get any worse, and what it took to for him to surrender and cry out for help before death took him away.

He begins Part Two: ” The thing that amazes me looking back is that I did not think I had a big problem for the longest time, not until I was 32 years old, and now I’m 36, sober almost two years after all these years of crazed abuse.

I carried a horrible sense of abandonment by my dad because he was away a lot, as I talked about earlier. So now, fast forward to college years.

At 19 or so, I applied to a second college after I was kicked out of the first one here in the UK. I had intended to enroll in the study of dentistry, but that went away. I think at that time I was 20 years old and did indeed study and drink and smoke marijuana every day.
