Episode 59 - Addiction and Recovery Part 1 with Adam from Doors Wide Open

Welcome to our first episode back for 2022 after a bit of a break. This episode is the first in a series of conversations that we will bring you from people who have experienced and are now recovering from drug addiction who all work at Doors Wide Open, a drop in service for people dealing with drug or alcohol problems in Bunbury, Western Australia. To kick off the series, we have a fascinating conversation with Adam, the peer-support team leader at Doors Wide Open. Adam frankly discusses his experiences using drugs at different stages during his life and his journey through recovery to where he is today, a peer support worker assisting others dealing with addiction. Adam openly discusses many aspects of his drug use and situations he found himself in that involved violence, so if you may find these topics upsetting, this one may be one to skip. But if not, then please enjoy our conversation with Adam and we will be back with another episode for you soon. A big thank you to Dr Jane Anderson for her support in arranging this episode.
