Brandon Dansie is the husband of Bridget Dansie who was a guest last week on All my Friends Are Felons. He tells of his youth, how he had a curiosity towards the counter culture and how in spite of his parents best efforts and unconditional love, he chose to delve into the world of drugs and alcohol. Meeting his Bridget at 19, together they dove head first into the world of addiction. A back injury and subsequent addiction to pain medication worstened the already bad situation. Finally, after being in jail 27 times he they realized almost simultaneously to and almost separately from Bridget that enough is enough. He describes his road to recovery and his work now as he earns his therapist degree helping others overcome the yoke of addiction. Join me as he describes his powerful story.
