HEALING ADDICTION (EP.7 U FEEL ME?)

This episode I’m joined by Violet May - singer, South London creative, and care provider in services, for a very honest, reflective, and real conversation. Violet shares her recovery from drugs and alcohol. I share my journey with an eating disorder. It was very interesting to explore the similarities and the deeper root beneath both: the mind’s urge to escape the Now. Addiction isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it’s substances. Sometimes it’s control. Sometimes it’s distraction. But at its core, it’s the same wound - the same reaching. I truly believe everyone will see themselves in some part of it.
