Feelin Weird

65. Addiction + Vulnerability


Listen Later

PART TWO of my talk with an anonymous guest: from bible college to rehab.  It's the classic "it started out as a really fun time, and soon after became a horrific dependency" story.  Wait, is that a classic?  I dunno...  ANYWAY, on a solo backpacking trip in Europe, she broke her wrist in a drunken accident.  Naturally, it didn't heal properly so a number of surgeries later, she was left in a cast with nothing to do for an entire year (which was ample time to develop a dependency on cocaine and alcohol).  

We talk all things: 
disordered eating, 
cocaine and alcohol addiction, 
rehab + recovery, 
being HYPER SENSITIVE (HSP), 
TW sexual assault (briefly mentioned), 
TW self-harm (cutting), 
inter-generational trauma (how trauma passes down the line), 
therapy pets, 
VULNERABILITY + people taking advantage of us, 
the horror of shows and school (being HSP), 
and a whole shit ton more :)
