Continuing with our addiction module this week, we connect with Dennis Shinski, one of the subjects from the documentary Digging in the Dirt, from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. We connect with Dennis on the linkages between maskulinity and addiction. Dennis shares his experience dealing with the subculture of oil rig industry of consumption and how tough it is to reach out.
