171: Childhood Trauma and Addiction with Justin Long


Listen Later

In his book 'The Righteous Rage of a ten-year-old boy' Justin explores his traumatic childhood and adult addiction. Justin grew up with a step-father who constantly criticised and punished him and a mother who escaped into religion. He never felt good enough and spent a lot of his life trying to fix that with his behaviour and alcohol. Now committed to self-awareness, he is 14 years sober and sharing his story to help others. Justin B. Long is an author, business owner, and the host of the podcast, Straight from the Horse Doctor’s Mouth which he produces with his wife, Dr. Erica Lacher. His bestselling book series, The Adventures of the Horse Doctor’s Husband, has been enjoyed by readers all over the world. While his wife’s mission is to make the world a better place for horses, Justin’s mission is to make the world a better place for people by combatting toxically masculine ideas surrounding men and their emotions. His current book, The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy, is a raw, intense examination of his childhood, the traumatic events bottle, I can promise you that formed his negative self-image, and his journey through therapy to overcome it all.
