Addicts eventually lose the ability to enjoy pleasure and ceases to have empathy.
We aren't defined by what we survived, but by how we choose to heal.”In this episode, we sit down with Ladidotie to navigate the complex intersections of trauma, identity, and the transformative power of a mother's love. This is a conversation about the resilience of the human spirit and the hidden strengths found in our most difficult seasons.Growing Up in the Shadow of Addiction: Ladidotie shares her raw and honest experience as the child of a heroin addict. We discuss the "parentification" of children, the search for stability in chaos, and how those early years shaped her perspective on life today.The Mixed-Race Experience: Navigating the "in-between." Ladidotie opens up about the specific struggles of mixed-race identity—from the feeling of not being "enough" of either side to finding a sense of belonging within oneself.Available on all podcast streaming services:spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/71jAuFEpE62eXOJQsQmx74apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-highest-point-podcast/id1573678608pandora: https://pandora.com/podcast/the-highest-point-podcast/PC:1000637890iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-highest-point-podcast-83744185/Ladidotie website - https://linktr.ee/ladidotie222?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareSupport the show: https://www.cash.app/$highestpointenthttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/highestpointpodcast#thehighestpointpodcast
In mainstream recovery circles, the adage "Once an addict, always an addict" is commonly accepted. This episode rejects that philosophy as "absolute BS". While the saying originated with good intentions—to encourage sobriety vigilance and set realistic expectations for recovery —it is fundamentally dangerous because it attacks the believer's identity.

I'm going to be honest with you: 2025 humbled me. It wasn't my year. I didn't hit the goals I set. I didn't finish the projects I planned. I spent more time putting out fires than building anything meaningful. I went from a team of five down to two plus a virtual assistant and I ended up picking up way more work than a business owner should be doing. I was so scattered, so mentally fatigued, that some days I couldn't focus on anything for more than 10 minutes. There's a joke in my world: 'How many rabbit holes can Ronda go down in one day?' And this year, the answer was... too many. So this episode isn't a victory lap. It's not 'here's how I crushed it in 2025. It's the truth. Here are the five lessons this year taught me the hard way. And if you're ending the year feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you just barely survived... I see you. You're not alone. Let's close out 2025 together.

Jesse Todisco was a successful salesman by day and a heroin addict by night. Then came the 30-hour bus ride that changed everything. In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, I sit down with Jesse Todisco—author of From Heroin to Healer—to discuss the dark reality of high-functioning addiction and the "impossible" journey of recovery.

When we think of potentially dangerous and addictive drugs, most of us think about illegal substances like heroine or cocaine. And yet widely-prescribed drugs like Xanax, Ritalin, Adderall, and Vicodin are also addictive, but legal in the United States. Historian David Herzberg discusses the artificial distinction that has been created between addictive drugs and medicines — with the key difference being the class and race of the consumers who use them and the partial protections that one group receives and the other does not. (Encore presentation.) David Herzberg, White Market Drugs: Big Pharma and the Hidden History of Addiction in America University of Chicago Press, 2020 The post Good Patients, Bad Addicts appeared first on KPFA.

Rob Reiner was 78 years old. His wife Michele was 68. And on the last night of their lives, they brought their 32-year-old son Nick to a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house because they needed to "keep an eye on him." That's not parenting. That's surveillance. That's what the mental health system in America leaves families with when their adult children are in crisis — no legal authority, no institutional support, no options. Just proximity. Just hoping your presence is enough to keep things from going sideways. It wasn't. Less than 24 hours later, Rob and Michele were dead. Throats slit. Found by their daughter in a home decorated for Christmas. Nick Reiner had been struggling since he was a teenager. First rehab at 15. Seventeen treatment programs by age 19. Homeless in three different states. His parents threw everything they had at the problem — money, connections, access to the best programs in the country. Michele told friends in recent months: "We've tried everything." They had. For 17 years. And the system gave them nothing in return. In America, if your adult child is mentally ill, addicted, or dangerous, your options are essentially zero. You can beg them to get help. You can pay for treatment. But unless they meet a narrow legal threshold — "imminent danger to self or others" — you cannot force them to accept care. Their autonomy is protected. Your safety is not. The Reiners lived this nightmare for nearly two decades. They followed the protocols. They trusted the experts. They did everything right by the system's standards. And the system still failed them — because it's designed to manage liability, not treat illness. This video is a deep dive into how America's mental health laws turn families into hostages. How the deinstitutionalization movement of the 1960s emptied psychiatric hospitals without replacing them with anything better. How jails became our largest mental health facilities. And how families like the Reiners are left to manage impossible situations with no training, no authority, and no way out. The Reiners had every advantage. It didn't save them. Until we reform a system that prioritizes philosophy over outcomes, it won't save anyone else either. #RobReiner #MentalHealthCrisis #MentalHealthReform #TrueCrime #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #Addiction #MentalIllness #FamiliesInCrisis #Deinstitutionalization #5150 #HostageFamilies #SystemFailure #MentalHealthAwareness Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

To watch the video of this episode, please go to: Do you feel held hostage by the rollercoaster of a loved one's addiction? What is the crucial difference between helping someone and enabling their destructive behavior? Is it possible to stop the chaos and help the entire family heal, even if the addict isn't ready to change? Join Dr. Adriana Popescu in another empowering episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities: Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, where she explores the complex dynamics of addiction within the family system. In this episode, Dr. Adriana sits down with Candace Plattor, an addiction therapist and author who specializes in helping families stop enabling their loved ones. They discuss the often-overlooked reality that addiction is a family disease, exploring how "loved ones" can inadvertently keep the addict sick through enabling behaviors. Candace shares her personal journey of recovery and offers a transformative roadmap for families to establish boundaries, prioritize their own self-care, and ultimately "raise the bottom" for the addict in their lives. In this episode: A Journey of Recovery: Candace shares her personal story of overcoming 15 years of opioid addiction and celebrating over 36 years of sobriety. Addiction Defined: Understanding addiction not just as a substance issue, but as a displacement of anxiety and a symptom of underlying trauma. Helping vs. Enabling: A clear, game-changing definition of the difference between truly helping a loved one and enabling their addiction. The Family System: Why treating the addict in isolation rarely works and the importance of healing the entire family unit. Raising the Bottom: Debunking the myth that you have to wait for an addict to hit "rock bottom" and learning how to raise that bottom sooner. Love with Boundaries: Practical steps for loved ones to regain their sanity, stop being held hostage, and love without losing themselves. Holistic Healing: The role of hypnotherapy and addressing the root cause of the "hole in the soul.” Resources mentioned in this episode: Candace's Website: LoveWithBoundaries.com Book: Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself: The Top 10 Survival Tips for Loving Someone with an Addiction by Candace Plattor: https://lovewithboundaries.com/loving-an-addict-loving-yourself-3/ Free 3-Minute Quiz: Available on Candace's website to see if you are an enabler. Complimentary Strategic Consultation: A free 30-minute call for families. About Candace: Candace Plattor, author of Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself: The Top 10 Survival Tips for Loving Someone with an Addiction and Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself: The Workbook, knows from personal experience what it means to be an addict. Within a year of being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 1973, she found herself in the throes of prescription drug addiction. Her Crohn's Disease diagnosis came at a time when the medical community had a very limited understanding of the disease and how to treat it. As a result, the treatment included some very addictive medications such as Valium, Demerol, Codeine and Oxycontin, which she took faithfully for a number of years. Additionally, she discovered that marijuana took away a lot of her physical pain and helped her escape from feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness, and isolation. In no time at all, she became a daily pot smoker and had one more addiction to deal with. And when she ran out of pot, she abused alcohol. After more than 15 years of abusing substances, she "reached bottom" in 1987. Thus began her journey of recovery and self-discovery. In her books, Candace draws from her experience as an addict, as well as from the stories of those she continues to help in her practice, to uncover the reality of loving someone with an addiction. All too often, people with an addicted loved one in their lives will neglect themselves in an attempt to "help." But, as she points out in her books, this is a lose-lose situation that doesn't help the addict at all. Instead, loved ones must make their own needs a priority and learn to focus on their own self-care. “Helping is doing something for someone that they are not capable of doing for themselves. Enabling is doing for someone things that they could and should be doing for themselves.” – Candace Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

In this episode of the Bare Knuckle Recovery Podcast, Zach Dawson and Bob Springer kick Nate and Tommy out of the studio to take over the mics to speak directly to the two groups of people who reach out to them the most: moms and significant others.Zach and Bob dive deep into the wreckage caused by active addiction, sharing vulnerable stories about the manipulation, lies, and fear they inflicted on the women who loved them most. They discuss the long, difficult road to rebuilding trust, emphasizing that sobriety is just the beginning... true recovery requires a complete change in behavior and integrity.Later in the episode, the conversation shifts to the realities of working in the recovery field. The hosts open up about the toll the job takes on their families, the necessity of accountability among teammates, and how they navigate the fine line between helping others and being present for their own homes.In this episode, we cover:The addict vs. the partner: How relationships survive the chaos and the transition into a healthy, sober dynamic.Rebuilding trust: Why "just trusting" an addict doesn't work and why it takes years of consistent action to repair the damage.The mother-son bond: Bob shares a touching story about taking his mother to breakfast with his own money and the redemption of being present for her when she passed away.The "monster" of addiction: Understanding how drugs change a person's personality and why they lash out at the people they love most.Accountability on the front lines: A raw look at how the BKR team supports each other, including a story about finding a stash of drugs on a job and relying on teammates to do the right thing.Whether you are a mother, father, a spouse, or someone in recovery trying to make amends, this episode offers a message of hope: don't give up, because people can and do change.Watch this episode and all past episodes here: https://www.bareknucklerecovery.com/
This episode (#310) examines one of the most complex issues couples face after sexual betrayal: determining which details about an addict's behavior genuinely help the betrayed partner heal, and which unintentionally deepen her trauma. When discovery occurs, a partner's neurological fight-flight-freeze system activates, compelling her to search for every possible detail to regain safety. Drawing directly from Dr. Minwalla's concept of Integrity Abuse Disorder, we explain how the addict's secret sexual basement—and the manipulated reality that hides it—creates profound emotional and psychological abuse. The partner's desire for information is not curiosity; it is a survival response to having lived in a world where truth was withheld.The episode distinguishes between helpful disclosures that rebuild shared reality (timelines, behaviors, frequency, categories of sexual contact, and STI-related information) and harmful disclosures that load the partner's mind with unnecessary and intrusive content. Details like physical body features, sexual positions, explicit phrases, porn search terms, or exact locations provide no increased safety or accountability. Instead, they create trauma triggers the partner will carry into daily life for years—images that do not help her move forward and often make healing far more difficult.Because both addicts and partners are emotionally overwhelmed in the early stages of recovery, we stress the vital importance of formal therapeutic disclosure and the dangers of “trickle disclosure.” Without clinical guidance, couples often share information impulsively during moments of crisis, leading to retraumatization rather than relief. We teach addicts how to hold boundaries that protect the partner—not by hiding truth, but by committing to share everything in the safe structure of therapy. Ultimately, the article reinforces that transparency is essential and partners deserve the full truth, but truth must be delivered wisely. When done with support, honesty becomes a pathway to grounding, stability, and genuine relational rebuilding rather than a new source of trauma.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: When are Specific Details about an Addict's Behavior Helpful or Harmful for a Partner?

In this episode, the guys sit down with marketer and founder of Entrepreneur Addict, Matt Tompkins, to unpack the surprising overlap between addiction and entrepreneurship. They talk about the denial entrepreneurs live in (“I don't need help,” “I can do it all myself”), the fear of stepping away from the business, and what it really takes to build something that can run without you burning out in the process.Matt breaks down how most business owners are getting ripped off by marketing agencies, the red flags to watch for, and why you should stop chasing viral reels and start focusing on three simple things: your Google Business Profile, YouTube, and AI search. He explains how to demand real reports, track actual conversions (not vanity metrics), and build a brand that people trust before they ever pick up the phone.They also get into mental health, addiction, and the pressure of carrying a business on your back. Matt shares pieces of his own story, why entrepreneurs are especially prone to addictive behavior, and how telling your story openly can become your most powerful marketing asset—not just for leads, but for your own freedom.If you're a business owner who feels overwhelmed by marketing or burned by agencies, check out Matt's self-paced Entrepreneur Addict marketing roadmap—built specifically for entrepreneurs with busy, distracted brains—at entrepreneuraddict.com/REIA.If this episode hits home, share it with another entrepreneur, hit subscribe, and leave a review so we can reach more people who need to hear it.You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/...
Ad Free at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastBilly Strings sits down for one of the rawest, heaviest, and most honest conversations ever recorded on Dopey. In this replay, Billy talks openly about growing up in chaos, losing his dad to heroin at age two, his mom's crack and meth addiction, violence in the home, poverty, hunger, couch-surfing, and the wild, psychedelic, musical household that shaped him. He walks through the exact moments his childhood shifted from love and music into danger, raids, labs, dealers, and watching addiction take over everyone around him.Billy tells stories about tweaking with his parents, smoking meth for the first time with his mom, first acid trips, playing guitar for 48 hours straight, metal bands, coke, crack dreams, and the insane scenes he lived through as a kid and teen.He talks about leaving home at 13, being homeless, trying coke and meth after swearing he'd never do hard drugs, the traumatic first time he did heroin, panic attacks, confronting childhood sexual abuse in therapy, and getting sober from alcohol nine years ago.Billy also goes deep on losing his mom in 2024, learning she died from meth intoxication, how he found out through the death certificate while on tour in Australia, the confusion, denial, anger, heartbreak, poems she left behind, and the letter from his biological father he discovered after her death — the first time he ever saw his father say he loved him.He shares what Trey told him about Al-Anon, how he's been listening to meetings, how his understanding of addiction has completely changed, and his desire to help kids growing up in houses like his.This is Billy Strings telling his story exactly as he lived it — no hiding, no sugarcoating, and no shame.

I spent a year, actually more ( but that's another story ) driving rideshare ( Uber/Lyft ) — late nights, early mornings, 1,000+ rides, and more stories than one life should hold.People fresh out of ERs. Tech workers with haunted eyes. Kids. Addicts. Lovers. Divorces. People on the edge. People on the brink of miracles.People who just needed someone to ask, “Are you okay?”I learned things in that car I never learned in school — about trauma,destiny, fear, kindness, chaos, and the quiet confessions strangers make when they think you'll never see them again.Some of it was dark.Some of it was beautiful.All of it was human.If you've ever wondered who we are beneath our masks, beneath our bravado, beneath our pain — this is what strangers taught me about humanity.There are soundbaths on the Idiot Mystic YouTube that I can't upload here because they have no talking in them, but if you feel like, stop by there.Or come talk to me on Discord. https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM

As a Navy SEAL, therapist, paramedic, and firefighter, he's lived at the extremes of chaos and control—from overseas deployments to firefighting, from decorated service to deep meth addiction. His rock-bottom moment came when the pull of meth nearly prevented him from saving his young son during a public health crisis—a crisis that forced him to confront the war within. Dr. Tony Dice is now the CEO of Bishop & Dice Defense LLC, empowering veterans, law enforcement, and first responders to overcome trauma and reclaim their lives. Emerging from addiction, Tony built a life rooted in truth, accountability, and recovery, creating the Holistic Change Model, a non-drug, evidence-informed approach that blends clinical insight with 12-step principles. His memoir, After the Trident, shares how this model helps heal the "invisible wounds" of those who serve, offering practical guidance for sustainable recovery and long-term life transformation.

Even when we feel vaguely guilty for things in our past, or when we feel outraged by what we see other people doing, we have trouble talking about sin and evil. In our society, we've been taught that words like “sin” or “evil” are oppressive or meaningless. Yet we sense something out there that we don't have the vocabulary for. But the Bible gives us a far richer vocabulary and helps us understand sin in far more nuanced ways. In Jeremiah 2, there's a prophesy from Jeremiah to a nation in spiritual decline. And in it, we'll see how sin is replacing God, and the result is addiction of spirit. Jeremiah's telling us about 1) the dynamics of spiritual attraction, 2) the dynamics of spiritual addiction, and 3) the dynamics of spiritual restoration. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 14, 1999. Series: What's Really Wrong with the World. Scripture: Jeremiah 2:1-8.
