Happiness in Progress

#132 Addiction, Recovery & Brutal Transparency feat. Ed Chun


Listen Later

“It was a wake up. For me it was I either made a decision to change my life or not.” - Ed Chun

Today you're going to hear from Ed Chun. He is a father, husband, entrepreneur and a recovering addict. For many years, he was a well-known member of the southern Oregon community - involved in politics, non-profits and the community's culture. Despite the success and notoriety, he became addicted to street drugs. 2 1/2 years ago, he was pulled over and charged with possession. 

In this conversation, we talk about how someone successful gets involved in street drugs, why recovery worked the second time when it failed the first time - and why he believes in brutal transparency. You'll hear how transparency and how "being average" has changed his life.
