Well done. Needs to be heard
Forrest makes addiction discussions entertaining and his guests are so interesting. And he relates these topics into applicable life lessons. I learn so much about my own issues in every episode
You don’t have to be an addict to appreciate this podcast, but if you are I definitely think you’d get something out of it. Each episode Forrest Shaw and his guest share thoughts and stories around addiction, which can be interesting, educational and funny.
Thank you, Forrest, for being honest and brave enough to share your story of addiction while still keeping things light and entertaining. You are a pro!
