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 Frank – Part 2

Season 6 – Episode 02

Welcome to our latest season of Busting Addiction and Its Myths. This is Episode #2 of Season Six.

In part 1, Frank shared his story of his early life as a member of a highly dysfunctional family. His father decided that being with a woman other than his mother was worth the hurt, while his brother made the long ride down the slope of alcoholism and ended up in poverty and despair.

He spoke of leaving home at the age of fifteen, never to return to the scene of the crime, and of his life as a boneafide drug dealer. He told the story of his friend who was saved from a near-certain death by a woman who gave him the structure and the genuine care he needed at a critical moment.

He tells part two of his story:

“Dick was a guy I ran into in BC (British Columbia,) at an art centre of all places, where he was working for God knows what reason, and I also cannot remember why the hell I was there anyway.
