- In this episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I spoke to Tommy. He is a recovering drug addict from the UK and we actually met in rehab. We talked about when he started using drugs, getting arrested, rehab, family life, getting sober and so much more.
Hey everyone. Thanks for all of the support on the past few episodes. I've got some really interesting guests coming up and I will be exploring a bigger variety of topics in the next few episodes. Also, The placement of the Mic wasn't great in this episode. It started covering his face towards the end but I'll make sure that doesn't happen again. ❤
Love this episode. We do recover and wishing you a sober and serene life 🙏🏾
❤️ My brother is a addict.
He's been clean for year's.
This was a amazing podcast. Thank you♥️
Josh I see the wonderful work you are doing in making a change to the world, even if you stopped now your imprint on this earth is spectacular!
As a recovering addict myself I can identify a lot with Tommy,
Keep on keep on living clean and serene
5 min in and I can relate 100 %. 49 and still fighting the alcohol demon.
In active addiction you live with lots of shame and guilt. It keeps you stuck. Once you let go of this and forgive yourself, the healing can begin. As addicts we have to deal with the pain that is destroying us. 42months sober and grateful 🙏
love and appreciate the consistency
I try my best! Hopefully I will be able to put out multiple episodes every week in the future!

Wow wow wow just listening to the beginning he felt sorry for himself from the start. Playing the victim. Makes me sick. So he did drugs because his father left and his brother bullied him. Shame man. What a weak person.
What makes an addict valid then? What has to happen to someone for them to become an addict?
In rehab, treatments, therapy, with your probation officiers or whatever, usually trying to find what made you use and continue using in the first place is somehing you do so you can understand your behaviour patters better, process old feelings to prevent you from relapsing.
What he tells about his father might be one of his reasons and if you listen to the man talk, its not one thing. Hes been trough alot and what part of his story makes his reson for start using less valid? Whatever, even if he was to be "playing victim", whats it to you? Why do you care or feel like its yours to comment on?
I have so much respect for people who try to stay clean, people who survive, not all of us do you know? And you have the nerve to sit there and say someone story "makes you sick"? Wow wow wow
@@vem6998 I did drugs myself. I know how you manipulate people. When I was doing it I thought I was a hero. It messed up my family life. Guess what. They only wanted a good dad and one that was not a druggie. Was that too much to ask of my boys. No. I was the fuck up. I pulled myself together and am disgusted at the lifestyle I led. I do not glamorize it or blame anyone else but myself. It’s not acceptable using drugs. But if you have rich mommy or daddy it helps hey ?
@@davealston3881 happy you got clean, I really am! Still dont agree with your first comment at all and none of this was an answer to whatever I said.
When I slept outside, didnt have my family, money, nothing but a needle in my arm I did not feel like a "hero". Not every addict is the same you know and I would like to think that someone whos been trough it would be less judgemental when others share their story.
🙏🙏🙏
Why aren't your video views increasing? And not reaching people?
The reason is
1. Your video is not being SEO properly
2. Your video is not reaching the right people
3. Not using video hashtags properly
4. Not sharing the video on social media
There are a few more reasons.
That's why your videos are limited to your channel. Can't get out
In a word, your video is awesome.
such videos are in great demand.
If you do these things correctly. Hopefully you will get a lot of visitors.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
If i can help a wonderful person like you. Feel lucky. I will cooperate with you in all kinds.
I am waiting your reply,,,,,
The opposite of addiction is connection
"they call me daddy" priceless 🫶
Thanks for the message you give and spread positivity, hopefully I can spread my message like yours one day being in a similar position in my life and made it out successfully God bless
