In this episode I chat with my old best mate Tony as we discuss for the first time my cocaine addiction and why he had to park me and the effect it had on his family.

It’s a bit of a different format compared to our normal podcast chats but worth a listen as I learn a bit more about what a dickhead I was towards those who cared about me during my own addiction and I hope that you also may take some learnings from a family & friends perspective in understanding the mindset of someone in an addictive state.

In our chat, you’ll discover:

• The importance of mates ‘finally’ actually talking about addiction 
• How family is No.1 
• The addicts survival traits and hiding the truth
• The long journey for the family & friends

Just a heads-up and warning that this episode contains content which may be triggering for some of you as it covers suicide and substance abuse.
