This week on Wellbeing we talk with Robert Stirling and Ben. Robert is the CEO of the Network of Alcohol & and other Drugs Agencies and Ben is recently recovered from a cocaine and opioid addiction. We first speak with Ben, who was first introduced to opioids after being wounded while serving in the defence force. He came into contact with cocaine while at parties. He talks of the drug culture in Australia, why he started taking drugs, and the effect it had on his finances and his life. In the second half, Robert talks about what the NADA is and what its role is in the drug and alcohol field. Tune in next week when speak with an expert in drug addiction recovery.

We would love to hear from you! If you would like to suggest topics, give us feedback, or just say hi, you can contact us on [email protected]
