I felt like he did such an excellent job, remembering not only what his experience was like, but what was going through his head at the time... And so you know, he was trying to figure out like what do I do about this and his whole thought process and how he kind of solved that problem on that night of being hungry. But I love that he talked about the physical.
What happens when addiction takes you to the darkest corners of life? In this episode of 'Eternally Amy', host Amy Liz Harrison is joined by Carolyn Bunn and Alysse Bryson from The Sober Curator to dissect Jordan P. Barnes' gripping memoir, 'One Hit Away: A Memoir of Recovery'. Amy kicks things off by sharing her serendipitous meeting with Jordan at the 20 Books Vegas conference, setting the stage for a heartfelt discussion.
The trio dives into the raw and vivid storytelling that brings Barnes' experiences to life—from the depths of homelessness to the painstaking process of rebuilding relationships while still grappling with addiction. They explore how Barnes managed to recount parts of his life he barely remembers, thanks to his powerful narrative style.
The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like the physical and emotional toll of addiction, the challenges of reintegrating into everyday life, and the crucial role of family support. Through their dialogue, Amy, Carolyn, and Alysse highlight the importance of empathy and understanding for those on the path to recovery. This episode is a compelling listen for anyone interested in the complexities of addiction and the resilience required to overcome it.
