From council estate chaos to cocaine, gambling, paranoia — and finally, clarity.In this episode of Coming Clean With Me, addiction specialist Elliott Wald sits down with Matthew Thomas, a gas engineer who spent over 20 years caught in cycles of cocaine addiction, alcohol misuse, and online slot gambling — before finally breaking free.Matthew grew up on council estates in Southend-on-Sea, surrounded by drinking, cannabis, instability, and generational addiction. By 13 he was smoking cannabis, by 14 using ecstasy, and by 15 — while working the streets of London with his father he was introduced to cocaine.What began as fitting in quickly became a binge-use pattern that dominated his adult life:Weekly (and sometimes multi-day) cocaine bingesAlcohol as both gateway and accelerantSpending hundreds of pounds per weekGambling on online slots while usingMounting debt, relationship breakdown, and isolationMatthew describes how his use progressed from social settings to using alone, often locked indoors, gambling online, drinking heavily, and experiencing severe paranoia. He recounts cocaine-induced psychosis — barricading doors, sitting at the top of the stairs armed with a hammer, convinced people were coming for him, despite no real threat.The episode explores the neuropsychology of addiction, including:Dopamine overload from cocaineGambling as a secondary dopamine loopWhy paranoia intensifies as tolerance increasesHow addiction quietly dismantles relationships long before they officially endDespite repeated attempts to stop over a 10-year period, Matthew explains why he couldn't stay stopped — until one moment, 16 months ago, when something finally snapped. After a short binge involving cocaine, alcohol, and gambling away the last of his money, he reached a point of emotional exhaustion and clarity.Elliott 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).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, or surface-level explanations.Elliott's work focuses on the psychological, behavioural, and neurobiological mechanisms that drive cocaine addiction, including dopamine dysregulation, compulsive habit loops, impulsivity, identity reinforcement, and relapse conditioning. His approach is highly individualised, evidence-informed, and fundamentally different from generic coaching, peer-led advice, or one-size-fits-all recovery programmes based on someone else's story.He has appeared as an addiction expert across major UK broadcasters including ITV, BBC, Sky News, and Sky Living, and is a published author in the field of addiction.Over 90% of Elliott's patients work with him online, meaning private, one-to-one treatment is accessible to clients across the United States and worldwide, without the need for travel.If you'd like to watch a video explaining how Elliott's one-to-one programme works, or to enquire about private treatment, send a WhatsApp: UK: 07875 751960 International: +44 7875 751960Find out more on Elliott's website: https://www.hypnosis-expert.com/ADDICTION/
Jana Thomas Cílková dobře ví, že rozhodující jsou příběhy. Coby gymnazistka se jimi zaobírala skrz literaturu, chtěla studovat bohemistiku. K tomu však nedošlo, a usměvavá dáma je nakonec s příběhy svázána jinak: v roli generální ředitelky zdravotnické skupiny EUC se podílí zejména na příbězích pacientů. Snaží se, aby mělo co nejvíce osudů svůj happy end. Být v čele největšího poskytovatele ambulantní lékařské péče v Česku je přitom, co se příběhů týče, v jistém ohledu kreativnější než se do nich nořit prostřednictvím románů. Psané slovo člověku umožňuje příběhy konzumovat a pozorovat, avšak Jana Thomas Cílková je ze své pozice může tvořit či spoluvytvářet, může je ovlivňovat. Na jaké úrovni v Česku telemedicína je? V jakém stavu je podle Jany Thomas Cílkové celé české zdravotnictví a jaké problémy bude muset řešit? Je podle manažerky zdravotnictví podfinancované? Co chce ve funkci dokázat? A jak vnímá skutečnost, že je historicky první ženou v čele EUC? To vše se dozvíte v tomto videocastu.

To this day, no one truly knows what happened that night in the Appalachian hills.
Artiste montante de la scène états-unienne, Mickalene Thomas s'est fait connaître dès les années 1990 pour le regard nouveau et engagé qu'elle porte sur la place des femmes noires dans l'art. Son travail infuse dans les connaissances précises de l'histoire de l'art dont elle réinvente les codes. Pour clore son itinérance internationale, après Los Angeles, Philadelphie et Londres, celle-ci présente jusqu'au 9 novembre son exposition « All About Love » au musée des Abattoirs de Toulouse, dans le sud de la France. Les œuvres et installations de Mickalene Thomas mêlent peinture, photographies, vidéos, et surtout collage. Ses tableaux très colorés représentent les femmes de sa vie : sa mère, ses amies, ses amantes, ainsi que des artistes qu'elle admire. Elle photographie et peint des corps noirs, gros, queers, au regard assuré et à l'érotisme affirmé, manière pour elle de questionner les notions traditionnelles de beauté, de sexualité et de féminité, simplement en donnant à voir sa réalité. Elle représente notamment des femmes en train de se reposer, pour affirmer que les corps noirs ont, eux aussi, droit au repos, aux loisirs et au luxe. « Les systèmes sociaux cherchent à enfermer les femmes noires dans le rôle de servante, estime Mickalene Thomas. On ne nous perçoit pas souvent comme des personnes ayant droit à la joie ou au loisir. Même si nous possédons tout cela, ce n'est pas ce qu'on choisit de mettre en lumière chez nous. Ce qui est mis en avant, au contraire, ce sont nos traumatismes, les services rendus aux patriarches, à l'idéologie de la société blanche. Mon travail s'adresse avant tout aux femmes noires ordinaires qui possèdent toutes ces choses qu'on leur refuse souvent, parce qu'on leur répète qu'elles ne devraient même pas les désirer. Mais pourtant le désir est bien là, comme la sensualité est là, mais aussi l'excellence, la joie, l'amour. Toutes ces choses sont là, profondément ancrées dans leur identité », poursuit-elle. Le déjeuner sur l'herbe d'Édouard Manet revisité Toute l'œuvre de Mickalene Thomas célèbre les femmes noires et leur lutte pour occuper les espaces sociaux et artistiques. Le seul espace où elles n'ont pas à se battre devient alors leur foyer. L'artiste crée de grandes installations immersives inspirées des pièces de son enfance qui deviennent des lieux de reprise du pouvoir, de liberté et de communauté. L'artiste raconte : « Un foyer est avant tout un lieu de joie, de réconfort et de sécurité. L'importance de ce lieu est au cœur de mon travail. En fait, peu importe le chaos du monde extérieur, les épreuves auxquelles on doit faire face dehors. Que ce soit mon père ou ma mère, lorsqu'ils sortaient de la maison, ils affrontaient toutes sortes de discriminations liées à la couleur de leur peau. Alors quand ils rentraient, le foyer redevenait un espace de beauté, d'amour, de grâce même. Un lieu où on comprend les difficultés vécues au quotidien, dès le moment où l'on en passe la porte ». Mickalene Thomas revisite également des tableaux classiques de l'histoire de l'art européen, comme Le déjeuner sur l'herbe d'Édouard Manet dans lequel les femmes apparaissent passives et façonnées par le regard masculin. Elle se les réapproprie en y intégrant des femmes affirmées, incarnant un érotisme puissant et libre. « All About Love » invite à repenser nos imaginaires et à célébrer l'amour sous toutes ses formes.

Thomas C. Williams is an American author and historian living in France since 1989. A former U.S. Embassy staffer, he is a leading expert on Volney and Thomas Jefferson's secret translation of The Ruins of Empires, a radical Enlightenment text that nearly derailed Jefferson's presidency. He has lectured at the Robert H. Smith Research Facility (Monticello) and the French Senate, published widely on the subject, and donated the largest collection of Jefferson translations to Monticello. He is also the author of the historical novels English Turn and Kash Kachu.In this episode, Thomas joins me for a deep dive into the life and legacy of Volney: Enlightenment thinker, revolutionary, and author of The Ruins of Empires. We begin with Volney's intellectual formation and his role in the early days of the French Revolution, then explore his friendship with Thomas Jefferson and the political risks surrounding Jefferson's secret translation of Ruins. Finally, we look at how Volney's ideas continue to resonate today, offering a striking lens through which to view modern events.TimecodesIntroduction01:10 - Volney's Biography & Intellectual Formation25:58 - Volney and Jefferson: Transatlantic Ideals56:30 - Volney's Legacy and Contemporary Relevance1:16:38 - ConclusionVolney's Ruins, translated by Jefferson, on Project Gutenberg.Thomas socials:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ruinsofempires.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RuinsOfEmpiresThomas's novels:English Turn: Napoleon Invades Louisiana: Volume I: Ruins of EmpiresKash Kachu (White House): Volume 1: Revenge of the KatchinaArtwork: Constantine Francois Volney, Count of Chasseboeuf, by Gilbert Stuart, ca. 1795.

In this episode of The Crux True Survival Story Podcast, hosts Julie Henningsen and Kaycee McIntosh explore the harrowing experience of Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd in Antarctica during the winter of 1934. Byrd, already famous for his polar explorations, volunteered for a solo mission to collect meteorological data in a tiny buried shack during the Antarctic winter. With temperatures plummeting to -70°F in perpetual darkness, Byrd's scientific dedication was tested when his poorly ventilated stove began leaking carbon monoxide, slowly poisoning him over months. Despite his deteriorating health, he continued his meteorological observations and initially concealed his condition during radio check-ins to prevent endangering potential rescuers. After a failed first attempt, a rescue team led by Dr. Thomas Poulter finally reached Byrd, finding him emaciated but alive. Byrd's ordeal, which he later documented in his book "Alone," not only contributed valuable scientific data but influenced isolation studies for military and space programs and led to the prohibition of solo Antarctic missions. The episode presents a remarkable testament to human endurance in one of Earth's most unforgiving environments. 00:00 Welcome to the Crux True Survival Story Podcast 00:31 Setting the Scene: Antarctica, 1934 01:00 Meet Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Bird 01:27 Bird's Polar Expeditions 04:25 The Second Antarctic Expedition 06:14 Bird's Solo Winter Mission 07:52 Life in Isolation 12:08 The Silent Killer: Carbon Monoxide 18:04 Struggling with the Stove 19:17 Bird's Deteriorating Condition 19:52 Maintaining the Facade 22:04 Rescue Mission Begins 25:25 Second Rescue Attempt 27:53 Bird's Return and Recovery 30:36 Legacy and Impact 33:18 Epilogue and Final Thoughts Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ Primary Sources Byrd, Richard E.
