I don’t know how I found this podcast, but I’m glad I did. Every week I’m taken on someone’s unbelievable journey through heartache through mind blowing and gut-wrenching personal stories of those who have been near death, who have lost everything and eventually have overcome, and fortunately for us have lived to sit down with this exceptional host. Listen as each person describes the details of their lives from their childhood to what their last drink or overdose was like to eventually what recovery looks like for them. The common thread is this: they are sharing in hopes that their story will help even just one person know that hope is out there. Gambling, prescription pills, alcohol, cocaine, the addictions are varied and sometimes combined. No story is the same but the message typically is. I’ve been absolutely moved to tears on numerous occasions listening as these heroic and strong people describe the absolute lowest lows of their lives. With Louis, there, listening and considering their pain and suffering acknowledging at times his own story. He reassures the guests he understands while also allowing them the time and space to fully speak. He never interjects and has a natural ability to steer the conversation in ways that pull the reader in. I’m neither an addict nor in recovery. I’m simply a person who is here to admire the miracles and be moved and reminded that life is not easy but it is often beautiful.

It’s pretty rare to hear podcasts based on trauma and addiction with majority of male guests, so I’m really loving this one so far. As a lady, I have encountered numerous men struggling with inner demons. I hope podcasts like this can help men feel more comfortable discussing addictions, egos and mental health. Love this pod, the hosts and the guests!

I can’t wait for the weekly drop of this podcast. It’s a blessing to hear these stories. I’m not an addict but my husband passed from his alcohol addiction at the young age of 43. This podcast has helped me understand addiction with more empathy.

This podcast has been next level. I was married to an alcoholic for years and finally divorced. They’ve been in and out of treatment. This podcast has given me so much insight into the addict mindset and healed a lot in me. J-Mac was my favorite episode to date. Truly gifted speaker.
