The Thawing Man
Manage episode 387104166 series 2783618
The holiday season can be challenging for many. Oftentimes, we get triggered by family dynamics or the lack thereof. For those who struggle with addiction, it's especially important to be aware and get support.
My guest Derek Chowen, addict, author and coach is no stranger to the magnetic pull so many struggle with day-to-day. You will hear his story which includes the desperate attempts he made to hide his addiction, the reason he decided to face it and the purpose he found to stay sober.
For the "Normies" (those who don't struggle with addiction) this interview will pull back the curtain and teach you how to process what seems foreign.
The interview ends with Derek speaking directly to "The Other Side" - victims who have loved and supported addicts at their best and their worst. For some, this will be the apology you've been waiting for.
Derek delivers his story, wisdom and insight with incredible grace. This show has something for everyone.
This podcast is sponsored by my friend Barbara, the owner of Twin Oaks Cottage in Gladstone, Michigan. This historic cottage can host 10 guests! It's a magical escape to the Upper Peninsula.
