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.
Welcome to our latest season of Busting Addiction and Its Myths. This is Episode #6 of Season Six.
This interview with Adam and Tony, two young men recovering from alcohol and drug abuse, reveals what it was like, what happened and what it’s like now.
The occasion for this interview, actually a dialogue between the two, was Adam’s two-year anniversary, or “birthday”, and it consisted of the narrative of Adam’s journey from the depths of despair to a new life of promise. Tony and he shared their experience, strength, and hope to help those who love their still-suffering addict or alcoholic, whether the addict is in treatment or is otherwise attempting to live a clean and sober life. The point is that there is plenty of suffering to go around, but that most of it are unnecessary. Tony, with over four years of sobriety under his belt, is ideally suited to help guide Adam on the recollections of his journey.
Adam: ” I never did like the way I felt from the time I was a kid. I resented my father for never giving me the attention I thought I deserved. I carried this unjustified resentment for many many years, and it poisoned my outlook on life and it almost destroyed my relationship with my father.
