Only you know what it is. You’ve worked really hard to hide it, even those closest to you, your partner, your best friend, your parents, have no idea about it. You don’t talk about it, you don’t share it for the fear that if people knew, It would be the end, the end of your job, your relationships, it would be the end of everything you’ve been building. So you wake up, smile, and go about your day and it’s a good thing you’ve got broad shoulders because you’re carrying the weight of your hidden truth all day long. Unnecessarily. 

This is how we, Topher and Jamie, felt for years of our lives, our secrets were different, our coping mechanisms were different, our stories were different, but the SHAME was the exact same. When we finally couldn’t take it any more and asked for help, shared our secrets, the end of days we were sure were coming never came, in its place was a warm embrace, encouragement, praise, the truth no longer weighed us down, we were free.

TeaTox was forged in the fire of the silent rage, fear and shame that weighed us down and then was extinguished by the love and peace we received when we started sharing. Come listen to us share our story, and hear how other people dealt with their insecurities, addiction and everything in between. The power is in the permission to be vulnerable. You cannot fight what you cannot see, so listen, open up, and let’s get to work.
