Addiction doesn’t just affect the person struggling—it impacts families, futures, and lives forever changed.

In Episode 20 of Too Light Too Dark, Mark Astor confronts one of the most difficult and misunderstood subjects in mental health and law: addiction, accountability, and Florida’s Baker Act. This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about what really happens when someone reaches crisis—and how the legal system steps in when lives are on the line.

Mark breaks down the real-world consequences of addiction, the emotional weight carried by families, and the tough decisions that come with involuntary mental health holds. No clichés. No easy answers. Just clarity, compassion, and truth.

If you or someone you love has faced addiction, mental health struggles, or the fear of losing control, this episode will hit home.

In this episode:

• The emotional reality of addiction and personal responsibility
• What the Baker Act actually is—and when it’s used in Florida
• The fear, confusion, and urgency families experience in crisis moments
• Legal rights during involuntary mental health intervention
• Why accountability matters—even when compassion is required

This episode isn’t just informative—it’s human. And it’s necessary.
