"Metiéndome C0caína no Podía ni Pestañear": La Historia de un Adicto Rehabilitado | Juanma Barroso

🚨 The first line numbs you, but the pit it leads you to is endless. In this episode of "You Are Not the Master of Your Destiny," we're joined by Juanma Barroso, an addiction therapist and family interventionist at the Noa Institute. Juanma isn't speaking from theory: he started drinking alcohol at 13, fell into gambling, hit rock bottom with cocaine, and survived two overdoses before getting clean and dedicating his life to saving others. We talk about the harsh reality of functional drugs, the dangerous alcohol addiction in our culture, how gambling establishments operate, and the real keys for a family to rescue an addict. 💬 If you're going through a tough time or have a family member suffering from addiction, remember that THERE IS A WAY OUT.
