Faded Podcast Faded Podcast

Episode 01: Chris

An in-depth on Chris' story and journey through addiction, alcoholism, and recovery. First experiences, exploration of substances, fading into dark times, detox, rehab, relapse, overdose, vulnerability, uncertainty, manipulation, deceit, love, hope, and a light at the end of the tunnel to recovery. This story is jam-packed. We recommend you give the entire episode a listen, but if you REALLY don't have the attention span, patience, or time, flip to around 1:20 to get to the upward path and the beginning of Chris' recovery journey. As we mentioned in the intro, hang in. Try to avoid pressing pause. Be open. We will get you through the discomfort of the journey and into the understanding of how healing begins.
