In this episode, I sit down and talk with Dan. He is an entrepreneur, philosopher and a friend who has a dual diagnosis with bipolar disorder and substance abuse. He is a great guy and I have known him for just over a year, from my first attendance at FAVOR Greenville. One thing from this episode I hope you absorb is the degree to which substance abuse and mental health disorders go hand in hand. Perhaps, this podcast has and will continue to educate you, the listener, on the complicated nature of substance abuse. It is far from a personal failing or lack of will power. More often than not, the individual is seeking to suppress pain, trauma or insecurities to live in an increasingly complex world.
If you or someone you know is dealing with substance abuse disorder, please know that there are many resources to help you or them overcome these struggles and achieve a fulfilling life. If you need help finding resources please feel free to reach out to me at recoveryrisingpodcast@gmail.com
Enjoy the episode with Dan!
