David Wagner, host of the podcast, Addictions is a recovering drug addict. Following a 7yr addiction to opioids derived from a car accident injury, he became clean and sober and decided to launch a podcast to give a voice to people who've suffered from addiction. Today, David shares with us his own story of addiction — how it started, how it went on, and how his tenacity to finally stop without support or going to rehab is now helping others. Episode Takeaways:

• Addiction involves a choice.
• The biggest thing an addict can do is to acknowledge the fact of being an addict.
• Don't be afraid to reach out and seek help — it's the first step to getting better.
