Introduction to the Addiction and Recovery Podcast. Presented by Chris West-Russell, a recovering addict of 37 years clean time. The podcast explains the first series content - Open and honest stories, guest interviews, an addicts perspective of what addiction is and to help to understand what the disease of addiction is, to mention a few. Chris, like all recovering addicts wants to share his journey of his 8 years of active addiction and 37 years of recovery, what he calls remission from the disease of addiction, and reach out to all and anyone dealing with addiction and asks for help from fellow addicts to tell stories of their experience, strength and hope. He also wants other addicts or families of addicts, to help him put this series together with WhatsApp messages, written or recorded that he would put onto the podcast series’s. Chris’s recovery is based on the 12 step recovery program used by many 12 step fellowships throughout the world. He and all recovering addicts know we cannot do recovery on our own, and hence why Chris needs you help to reach out and help others caught in the grip of addiction. - WhatsApp Chris on: +27 (0)76 464 2098
