TW: heavy drug use, addiction, mentions of emotional abuse, mentions of mental health issues

In episode four, I interview the first sober guest on the podcast Jimmy Griffiths. I know Jimmy as we went to school together, we discuss what it's like growing up in a party town and using drugs at such a young age. We dive into when the drug taking started and when it got out of control. Jimmy talks about his own road of recovery which started in the UK but developed into harder drug taking when he moved to Australia and traveled through Thailand. He also shares the extreme toll this took on his mental health and how severe his lifestyle changed.
