Send a textIn this deeply honest and illuminating conversation, host Andrea Atherton welcomes special guest Tyler Blandin, a substance abuse counselor with over 20 years of professional and personal recovery experience. Together, they explore one of the most misunderstood truths in addiction treatment: you cannot force someone into recovery. With compassion and clinical insight, this episode unpacks the painful reality individuals face when they desperately want change. Tyler shares how true transformation begins with willingness, and how attempts to control or coerce often deepen shame and resistance rather than inspire healing.Andrea and Tyler also address the vulnerable question so many quietly ask: How do I know if I'm an addict or alcoholic? They clarify the difference between problematic use and addiction, discuss the emotional and behavioral markers that often go unnoticed, and demystify how programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous actually work. Together, they gently dismantle common misconceptions about 12-step recovery, revealing the spiritual, communal, and accountability-based foundations that have helped millions find lasting sobriety.This episode also courageously confronts the cultural punishment model still embedded in how society responds to addiction. Andrea and Tyler examine the stigma surrounding medication-assisted treatment, particularly the shaming that can occur in some recovery spaces for those taking Suboxone. They explore how self-help communities can both save lives and, at times, unintentionally perpetuate harm. If you have ever loved someone struggling with addiction or questioned your own relationship with substances, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a call toward more compassionate recovery pathways.Tyler Blandinhttps://emotionalnightmarespodcast.buzzsprout.com/30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

Send a textFrom armed robberies and drug dealing to long-term recovery and mentorship, Peter Wicket's life is proof that transformation is possible. After years lost in addiction, jail time, and chaos, he found hope through Narcotics Anonymous and chose a different path. Peter speaks openly about adoption, abandonment, ego, crime, relapse, and the moment surrender finally broke through. He shares how recovery isn't just about abstinence — it's about spiritual growth, accountability, and practicing principles in every area of life. Today, he's a father, mentor, and leader in Saskatoon's recovery community.This conversation centers on recovery, awareness, and the courage to face the exact nature of our wrongs. Peter's journey reminds us that no matter how deep addiction runs, a new way of life is possible when we stop fighting and start surrendering.Support the showCheck out the speakeasy podcast Follow Daniel Unmanageable on Facebook Follow Project Sparky We've got fresh merch and it's amazing!

Lucy knew from a very young age that she was different from other kids and her siblings and felt anxious and a bit depressed.  She found concentrating at school difficult and today acknowledges that this is probably related to her neurodivergence.  Lucy gravitated to alcohol and drugs to compensate for her feelings and to fit in, often with the wrong crowd.By late teens Lucy was ready to leave home and moved in with her boyfriend, who she knew already had a heroin addiction.  Introduced to heroin and then ice, she found that she couldn't hold down a job and was dependent on others as her drug dependence grew and she developed psychosis.  Lucy's change of character under drugs saw her become a family violence perpetrator against her mum and this is what eventually caused her to seek help.Lucy was fortunate to get into a 12th step drug rehab where she found Narcotics Anonymous and has now been clean for two years.If you would like to find out more about Narcotics Anonymous or need to talk to somebody, then please call 1300 652 820 at any time or go online at www.navic.net.au.You can show your support to the Living Free show and keep us on air by:subscribing to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/subscribeand/or donating to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/donatePrevious female NA guest podcasts:Sara and Nat - https://www.3cr.org.au/livingfree/episode-201808231300/narcotics-anonymous-sara-and-natEmma and Kiandra - https://www.3cr.org.au/livingfree/episode-201809271300/narcotics-anonymous-emma-and-kiandraLiz - https://www.3cr.org.au/livingfree/episode-201908221300/narcotics-anonymous-lizEl and Summer - https://www.3cr.org.au/livingfree/episode-201911281300/narcotics-anonymous-el-and-summerEmma - https://www.3cr.org.au/livingfree/episode/narcotics-anonymous-emma-26sep2024

Harry Beattie spent over a decade in Narcotics Anonymous while repeatedly relapsing. In this episode of Coming Clean With Me, he shares what finally changed when his sobriety began to stabilise — not through a new programme, but through major life shifts including fatherhood, daily structure, public accountability, and cold-water exposure. He reflects on why previous recovery attempts failed and what made the difference this time.In conversation with cocaine addiction expert Elliott Wald, Harry opens up about his history of cocaine use, repeated relapse, and the emotional roots of addiction. He discusses growing up in an emotionally distant home, living with undiagnosed ADHD, and using cocaine to quiet his mind rather than energise it — until it led to paranoia, disrupted sleep, and deteriorating mental health.Harry explains how responsibility, habit, and routine became key to lasting sobriety. He maintains a focus on discipline, structure, and daily consistency rather than thinking in terms of being “cured.”00:00 – Cocaine addiction recovery: From chaos to Ice Bath Harry00:34 – Childhood abandonment and emotional neglect00:42 – Privilege without nurture: hidden trauma01:11 – 409 days clean: why sobriety finally stuck01:30 – Full introduction: Ice Bath Harry's story03:14 – Growing up wealthy but emotionally deprived04:13 – ADHD, school expulsions, and being labelled “naughty”06:40 – Seeking validation, rebellion, and risk-taking09:20 – Impulsivity, danger, and early addiction traits10:19 – Undiagnosed ADHD and addiction vulnerability12:35 – “I'm not cured”: understanding long-term recovery12:49 – Video game addiction and escapism13:49 – Alcohol, early substance use, and rebellion15:36 – First cocaine use and immediate emotional relief16:45 – Why cocaine felt calming, not stimulating18:10 – ADHD, dopamine deficiency, and cocaine21:43 – How cocaine addiction escalates23:04 – Sales culture, money, and daily cocaine use24:07 – When cocaine stops working26:26 – Addiction, anxiety, and loss of control28:30 – Isolation, paranoia, and binge use30:00 – Dry sniffing and hiding cocaine addiction31:09 – Why traditional recovery failed33:56 – Losing family, home, and identity36:00 – Staying awake for days on cocaine38:30 – Cocaine-induced paranoia and psychosis42:10 – “This isn't what cocaine promised”44:20 – Rock bottom and emotional collapse46:55 – Rehab, relapse, and reality49:05 – Visualising recovery and future identity51:22 – Is addiction a disease?55:00 – Why one-size-fits-all recovery doesn't work59:57 – Alcohol vs cocaine: brain differences01:08:11 – Why stimulant addiction needs a different approach01:24:26 – Ice baths, dopamine, and recovery01:26:00 – Public accountability and staying clean01:28:30 – Building Ice Bath Harry online01:31:40 – Identity, shame, and self-belief01:32:30 – What addiction really is01:34:00 – Fatherhood, meaning, and closing messageElliott Wald is a British psychologist, hypnosis expert, and behavioural analyst with over 30 years of clinical experience. He specialises exclusively in the treatment of cocaine addiction via nasal use (snorting) — a form of stimulant addiction that is frequently misunderstood and poorly treated by generic recovery models.Alongside his formal clinical training, Elliott also brings direct lived experience. He maintained a daily cocaine addiction for 15 years, when he was publicly visible and appearing as an expert on national television. This combination of clinical expertise and first-hand experience allows Elliott to understand stimulant addiction from both a neuropsychological and human perspective — without ideology, moral judgement, orFind out more on Elliott's website: https://www.hypnosis-expert.com/ADDICTION/

Send us a textA dropped call, a shaky signal, and then the truth lands: our brother Remo relapsed after years sober, lost his job, totaled his car, and vanished into shame. What follows isn't a tidy redemption arc; it's a candid account of how cocaine slid into meth, how late nights and familiar faces reopened old doors, and how a traffic stop and a smart case manager pushed him toward a rapid diversion program that might save his record—and his life.We walk through the real logistics of recovery: court dates, Medi‑Cal approvals, chasing a bed, and learning to live inside structure again. Roll call, laundry duty, limited phone time, group therapy, and Narcotics Anonymous turn chaos into routine. The emotional work runs alongside the rules. He starts calling his daughter again, listens for disappointment to soften, and sets a boundary around a hard conversation with his dad on the advice of counselors. He names triggers with clear eyes—late drives, old hangouts, the barbershop rule—and chooses boring consistency over another flash of excitement.We zoom out, too. There's a quick movie pick (No One Will Save You on Hulu) and a strong take on California's refinery exits, special gasoline blends, and why gas prices could spike as policy reshapes supply. But the heart stays with recovery: the dirty street supply, fentanyl risk, friends lost, and the way support systems—from partners to persistent case managers—make the difference when willpower alone falls short.If you or someone you love is trying to find a way into treatment, reach out. We'll help point you to a bed, a program, a meeting—whatever gets you to day one and through day ninety.

Photo: Josh Engle, manager and peer support specialist at True North Recovery in Wasilla, gives out cookies as part of homeless outreach efforts in Anchorage on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. (Matt Faubion / Alaska Public Media) For people experiencing addition, it can help to talk to someone who has been through recovery themselves. Peer support specialists offer a different kind of support from therapists or psychiatrists. And in Alaska, there are state certifications for peer support roles, including a special track for Indigenous people with lived experience in recovery. Alaska Public Media's Rachel Cassandra has more on peer-to-peer care in the state. Josh Engle is bundled up on one of the first really cold days in October. He walks along a forest path to do outreach in an encampment in Anchorage. He approaches a man in a weathered coat. “How long you been out here on the streets?” “Too long. Yeah. Yeah.” Several tents and makeshift structures lean together. “You connected with any resources?” Engle is a manager and peer support specialist at True North Recovery – and one of his aims today is to help guide people into recovery. It's a path Engle knows well because he's in long-term recovery himself. Now he supports people in ways that go well beyond what a more traditional therapist or psychiatrist can do. He may text with clients outside business hours, help them find work or get connected with benefits – anything that supports them in a way that might lead to recovery. “I personally, really enjoy being able to connect with them on a personal level of someone that has walked their path.” When patients interact with workers with lived experience, research shows it can aid recovery and can reduce healthcare costs. Aaron Surma is Executive Director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in Juneau, which runs training for peer support. And Surma experiences mental illness himself. He says psychiatrists and mental health professionals play an important role in supporting recovery and treatment, but there is a strong power difference. “You’re in a small room, you’re making intense eye contact, and the dynamic is that you have the expert and the person who needs help.” Surma says he was arrested multiple times during high school and was court ordered to go to Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. He says hearing peers in those groups was awesome, but things felt different when talking with his formal providers. “When I was a teenager, I was lighting stuff on fire and buying garbage bags of weed. So then to go into a small room and talk to somebody who you know, like, imagine the counselor from “South Park” who’s saying ‘Drugs are bad, Mkay?’ And it’s a million miles from what you know.” He says it's easier for peers to bridge those gaps in early recovery. Peer support specialists speak the language of addiction and mental illness and also understand the more traditional language of behavioral health professionals. Seeds of Eden, which offers addiction recovery services and community-based behavioral health services, recently received a $30,000 grant from the South Dakota Community Foundation. The grant will help the organization’s work to provide sober living, peer support, care coordination, and case management, including a project to build a recovery housing facility on the Standing Rock Reservation on the South Dakota side. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe straddles the South Dakota and North Dakota border. Isaiah Keller is one of the co-founders of Seeds of Eden. He says they're already secured a home, which is being remodel to offer future services. “The house that we have been remodeling is about 90% complete. So, a small portion of the funds that were awarded will go to finish that project, that house and to make it livable and to make it functional.” Keller says Seeds of Eden was designed to help fill a gap when it comes to addiction recovery services, and he says the group realized there was a need for assistance within tribal communities. He says they've been working closely with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Native American board members, and Native advocates. “We’ve partnered with a really good ally and advocate.  And her name is Bobbi Jamerson. She’s the chairwoman of the Bear Soldier District on the South Dakota side of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. And she has been advocating and promoting recovery and community involvement. We’re at a point right now where we feel like we have some great traction and some great movement.” Keller says they would like to expand services across South Dakota and beyond.

We are seeing more and more clients show up at Windmill Wellness Ranch struggling with this, so we need to get the word out. Kira and Casey discuss all the ins and outs of 7OH and what we are doing to help further research about it.
