Listen as each person describes the details of their lives from their childhood to what their last drink or overdose was like to eventually what re... more

  • Great Representation

    It’s pretty rare to hear podcasts based on trauma and addiction with majority of male guests, so I’m really loving this one so far. As a lady, I have encountered numerous men struggling with inner demons. I hope podcasts like this can help men feel more comfortable discussing addictions, egos and mental health. Love this pod, the hosts and the guests!
