On today's episode of Beat Your Addictions John Giordano interviews author Steve Moffe

About Steve-

Steve grew up during the 60's and 70's in a large family; he was the fifth of seven children. Their home was located in the rough part of a small city near a railroad depot in Elmira, New York. It was a blue collar community of upstate New York, consisting of Eastern European, Black, Italian, and Irish immigrants. My father(Italian decent) had a six grade education, and my mother (Irish) having a high school diploma. Steve had suffered from a severe head trauma at the age of one. In his early years, he, his mother and siblings suffered from physical and emotional abuse by his father. Through his formative years in school, he struggled with undiagnosed dyslexia, and had a very difficult time throughout his education until high school.

During his 'formative' years and long after he left his home, his parents’ marriage was a very contentious one, and affected him deeply as of course it would negatively affect most kids. Personally, Steve considered himself a loner with the exception of one or two close friends, he tended to isolate more often than not. For the most part, when it came to adolescence (and) girls, he was a bit naïve and shy until he began using alcohol that arguably changed his life and his behavior; and not for the good.

Although he considers his childhood has being a very difficult one, in part because of his life choices, but predominantly much of it because of his father's outbursts of rage and anger towards his mother, siblings and himself, there were a number of good childhood memories too. All of that aside, Steve struggled growing up. At the age of about thirteen he began drinking, having sex and smoking marijuana. Between the years of 13 and 18 drinking was a part of his life mostly on weekends and holidays, except for his high school years while participating in sports he did behave. By in-large, Steve was more or less dedicated to his sports and avoided Imbibing during these times.

All of that change after his early discharge from the United States Navy, and a few unforeseen events while entering and during his time in the service that changed the direction of his life forever. He was discharged after nine months, and his drinking began again, and use of several street drugs. His life floundered for time after his discharge until he found a job as an orderly and ICU technician at a local hospital. He was good at what he did, but his life coping skills were pretty much nonexistent as he had turned to more and more to alcohol and drugs to cope with life issues and his past, until he was married; he chose to leave the drinking and drugging to his past at least for awhile. He was married for 20 years with two beautiful daughters who are now married and successful in their chosen professions. Early in his marriage came the loss of his brother to AIDS in 1993, then the drinking and drugs came back into the picture.

Compared to Steve's childhood, it seems his daughters we're spared the abuse that he suffered, however, although Steve avoided the negative traits of being physically and emotional abusive towards his daughters, his torment lies in the fact that he wasn't always present as a full-time father because of turning to alcohol or drugs to cope with the loss of his brother and loathing his career as a prison guard. These circumstances lead to years of him being treated with psychotropic drugs to control his mental illness and eventually, electroconvulsive therapy( shock treatments); in addition to being in and out of mental health facilities and years later, a second alcohol and substance-abuse rehab.

On today's episode of Beat Your Addictions John Giordano interviews Brian Storm former addict and author of 'The Struggle'

About Brian-

Brian Storm grew up in Philadelphia, PA, where he discovered a passion for writing at an early age. However, a drug addiction took priority over Brian's life, as he spent the next 15 years selling drugs to support his habit.

Eventually, Brian turned his life around with the help of a 12-step program, where he discovered a passion for helping other alcoholics and addicts. This passion led Brian to write his memoir, The Struggle, as a way to share his experience, strength, and hope with others. Years later, Brian pursued a career at the Free Library of Philadelphia and went back to school to obtain his Associate of Arts Degree. In 2016, Brian married his soulmate, Monica, who helped him recognize his love for rescuing animals in need.

On today's episode of Beat Your Addictions we interview author Mary Giuliani about the process of healing from trauma.

About Mary -

Mary Giuliani is a Master Certified Coach, keynote speaker, and author of "It's Not About Food, Drugs, or Alcohol: It's About Healing Complex PTSD." As a complex trauma recovery coach, she supports survivors in healing from complex trauma and achieving long-term recovery with food, weight, drugs, alcohol, and relationships, resulting in them turning their pain into power and purpose.

About Her New Book -

Mary's new book is a blending of memoir, science-based research, and a practical Complex Trauma workbook & Addiction Recovery Healing Guide.

In it, Mary shares her story that in mid-life, she discovered the root cause driving her struggle with relationships, health, and work, and her past struggle with alcohol, drugs, food, and severe obesity was a condition known as Complex PTSD, a more severe form of PTSD that developed from her being raised in a chaotic alcoholic home.

This discovery sent her on a five-year journey where she researched leading experts in the fields of C-PTSD, neuroscience, developmental psychology, adverse childhood experiences, and addiction medicine to find the most effective treatments for optimal healing.

As she embarks on her trauma-healing journey, she shares experiencing one mind-blowing revelation after another as she learned C-PTSD was operating behind the scenes sabotaging her weight, recovery, relationships, career, and health. She then shares what she did to heal and how discovering and healing her trauma marked the single most transformative turning point in her life. She also provides access to all she's learned through a compassionate, step-by-step C-PTSD workbook and Addiction Recovery Guide so her readers can embark on their own trauma healing and recovery journey.

3 Tips or Takeaways:

1. Your Struggle With Food, Weight, or Substances Is Not Your Fault

It's A Normal Response To Surviving An Abnormal Childhood

2. You're not alone; you're not bad or defective, and what happened and how you coped is not your fault

3. Your symptoms are normal, and by accessing the right trauma-based body, brain, and mind therapies, you can heal.
