Now, now I have all the reasons in the world to do it. This is a justifiable reaction to what's happening to the life to me sort of thing.
What happens when life throws you not just one, but two massive curveballs? In this compelling episode of Soberoso, host Dora Gosselin chats with Martin P. from Oshawa, Ontario, who faced both addiction and a debilitating neurological disease. Diagnosed with Parkinson's at just 30, Martin's drinking and drug use spiraled out of control.

His journey is a testament to resilience and the power of community support in overcoming life’s toughest challenges. Dora and Martin’s conversation is filled with honesty, hope, and practical advice for anyone grappling with similar issues. Whether you're battling addiction, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the intersection of addiction and disability, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
