So, when you're in a tough time, there's a great quote by a man named Alan Watts, and he says you're under no obligation to be who you were five minutes ago.

In this episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', host Jim Rachels takes us on his personal journey through the dark alleys of addiction and the light of recovery. Jim opens up about his early life, marked by turmoil and the development of multiple addictions to food, alcohol, and drugs.

Jim shares how he found strength in a community of fellow addicts and highlights the core behaviors that often accompany addiction. He delves into the importance of discipline and hard work in the recovery process, emphasizing that these elements are crucial for anyone looking to reclaim their life from addiction.
