Episode 3:  #addiction
 

In this episode, Michelle Da Silva interviews Jordan Clements, a private chef and recovery support champion, about his experience with addiction.
 As a professional private chef his addiction to drugs didn’t start until late in life, and the mystery and magic was very short lived. 
 Having worked with some of the industry’s top names, chef Jordan has seen all ends of the addiction spectrum. Addicted to work, healthy living, drink, drugs and inevitably anything that would keep his mind busy enough to prevent him facing the trauma he suffered as a child.

In this episode Jordan discusses:

Ø  How Denial is a common stage in addiction, believing we are in control when we may not be.

Ø  How Addiction can stem from trying to escape or run away from past traumas or unresolved emotions.

Ø  Societal pressures that contribute to addiction and the importance of self-worth and acceptance in the recovery process.

Ø  How Family members and friends can offer empathy and support in the addiction process.
