Eric's Battle and Triumph: A Story of Addiction and Hope
If I had to count all the relapses I had, the stories would be a nice book and I hope someday I can write it.
Imagine standing on the brink of life and death, a rock tied to your waist, ready to sink into the river. This was Eric's reality, but fate had other plans. Spanning a life marked by addiction, Eric's story is one of incredible highs and devastating lows. Despite his love for his children, he struggled to find love for himself, leading him through a maze of suicide attempts, psych wards, and the tragic loss of a friend.
As a Psych Nurse, Eric's professional life was a stark contrast to his personal battles. Yet, he never stopped fighting.

Real Talk.', Eric lays bare his soul, sharing the lessons learned from his mistakes and triumphs.
His story isn't just about addiction; it's about resilience, the relentless pursuit of self-love, and the power of seeking help. Tune in to hear Eric's raw and unfiltered account of survival and recovery.
