The Diary of a Young Addict

This podcast is all about being a young addict in recovery. I am completely transparent about my experiences in active addiction and in recovery and talk about everything from the struggles... to the triumphs... to the gruesome details. I'm 23 years old and my clean date is 10-17-2018. I have a minor in substance use disorders so you're not only getting candid experience, but also some facts I've learned along the way.

My goal is to break the stigma of addiction and educate others on what life looks like as a [young] recovering addict. When I was in my active addiction, I had no idea what was wrong with me or why I would do things I knew were wrong, without a second thought. I had no answer as to why I was continuously hurting others around me or why I was choosing drugs over everyone and everything. I genuinely thought I was just a terrible person. Today, I have an answer AND I’ve found a solution. I hope you hear something you relate with or learn something you didn't know before. If this is not for you, I hope you can pass this podcast along to someone you know who is struggling. Thanks for checking my podcast out (:
