Hello and welcome to another episode of Macabre for Mortals. This week and the next few weeks I will be covering the topic of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is an important topic that I feel has been around for millennia, albeit under different diagnosable names, but has been brought into the forefront of media since the conflict in Vietnam and the Iraq War, and more people are taking it seriously. But I also want to acknowledge that PTSD can come about through any type of trauma not just trauma of war. My sources this week were: Alo House https://alorecovery.com/8-movies-about-ptsd-post-traumatic-stress-disorder/ Health direct https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd Beyond blue https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/anxiety/types-of-anxiety/ptsd The mayo clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967#:~:text=Post%2Dtraumatic%20stress%20disorder%20(PTSD)%20is%20a%20mental%20health,uncontrollable%20thoughts%20about%20the%20event.

Today I am sitting down with my husband Evan Haines. Evan Haines is a Co-Founder of Alo House, and specializes in admissions, and marketing and business development. An active participant in the recovery world, it felt natural for Evan to transition into the sober living business, and help others obtain and maintain sobriety. In 2010, he and Jared founded Alo House, which, in less than three years, became one of the most successful sober living residences in the area. Evan has a Master’s Degree in Community Development Planning from the University of British Columbia. (Bio via alorecovery.com) In this episode, we dissect the recent Brittany Spears Documentary.

Evan Haines struggled with alcohol addiction for years before a near death car accident caused by his own intoxication landed him in jail. From there he made a decision to get help, get sober, and went on with his best friend to start a sober living home that helped others. This eventually evolved into multiple treatment centers called Alo House Recovery, which is based out of Los Angeles.

There are two types of addicts that most people think of: the “trainwreck” who is not seeking help and the one who is seeking help, going to AA meetings or rehab. The reason many people only see these two sides is because that’s all that the media tends to cover. My special guest today, Alexis Haines, is here to talk about all of the people who fall in the middle — because, in reality, very few people fit into those two camps. And Alexis is not ashamed to share her story — what recovery from reality actually looks like. And she has been through a lot; from being a 19-year-old heroin addict who was fighting criminal charges to someone who is now 9 years sober and owns her own treatment center and hosts a successful recovery podcast. Alexis truly has so many incredible insights, lessons, and advice to share from her experiences and the journey that she’s been through! I hope you’ll all tune in to hear what she has to say on recovery, addiction, and healing. “I knew that I was okay going forward when I stopped spending every single day trying to check out of my reality, but instead, trying to check in to my reality.” — Alexis Haines IGNTD Specials: Free IGNTD Recovery Workshop 14 Days Free of IGNTD Live Online Groups The Abstinence Myth, Dr. Adi Jaffe — Get the book free!

This week, my husband Evan and I are bringing an episode to you guys while quarantined, or social distancing, in our home. We have made every effort possible to stay home, and hope you all stay safe and healthy during this global pandemic. Evan is forever calm, cool and collected, so I thought he'd be a great guest for these times. We talk about Evan’s addiction story, our relationship, marriage, and first impressions of each other, and his almost 15-year sobriety. We also talk about our treatment center, Alo House, and what’s happening in the treatment world. We know during this time of isolation, people can really struggle with mental health, so we are discussing how to handle that as well. Evan and I are highly sensitive and empathic people, as most who struggle with addiction are. We believe these empaths are truly the mystics, truth-tellers, and way-showers of our planet, and need to be properly cared for. They are not the crazy ones! Our mission with addiction treatment is to help show people their own power, and remove the stigma around suffering. TheOuai.com with code: REALITY for 3 Free Samples with your order.

Today I will be speaking with my equally charming and knowledgeable Guest, Evan Haines, about what he has coined 'solving the Riddle of Addiction.' He is co-founder of an innovative drug treatment program called 'Alo House Recovery Centers', formerly known as Acadia Malibu. Evan grew up with addiction problems all around him, and for many years suffered from his own issues. He then embarked on a years-long recovery journey. And along the way, Evan became 'obsessed,' as he puts it, with solving 'the riddle of addiction treatment.' We will discuss both his and my journey, personally and professionally, in this area.
