Breaking the Chains: Russell and Thomas on Overcoming Addiction

So yeah, I think when you realise that you're actually worth it and you have a bit of self-belief- because I think in addiction we all feel worthless and we all walk around feeling like shit all the time, which doesn't help.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to climb back up. In this episode of 'The Gap', we dive into a raw and heartfelt conversation between Russell and Thomas, two individuals from different generations who have faced the dark abyss of addiction. Russell's journey began after a devastating bereavement led him to drown his sorrows in alcohol, consuming a litre of gin in just an hour at his worst.
Thomas, on the other hand, started with casual drug use at parties, only to find himself ensnared in a habit that took over his life. Now both in recovery, they share their stories of struggle, the impact of addiction on their relationships, and the misconceptions they've encountered along the way. Their dialogue is a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience and the motivation needed to seek help.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to break free from addiction or how to support someone on that journey, this episode offers profound insights and hope.
