In this episode of Sh*ts F*cked, Paris Le Maistre sits down with Danny Shannon, founder of Encapsulator, to have a real conversation about addiction recovery and whether abstinence is the only way forward. Danny, who’s been sober since September 2009, shares his own story of navigating addiction and finding a way out that worked for him.
Paris and Danny dig into the idea that recovery doesn’t have to mean total abstinence for everyone. They discuss harm reduction, personal growth, and how recovery can look different for each person. Danny talks about his work with Encapsulator, where he helps people capture their progress through video journaling, and why being honest with yourself is so crucial in the recovery process.
Paris adds her own experiences into the mix, reflecting on the difficulties she faced in finding support that actually made a difference. This episode offers a down-to-earth chat about the different ways people can approach recovery, without sugar-coating the realities.
