The Truth About Addiction
My name is Ron Isherwood, a recovering addict. Born into the infamous underworld of criminal Painters and Dockers in Melbourne. At 37 years clean, I embarked on my own journey of recovery 42 years ago. The last thing that I could give up was my addiction to crime.
Today, I am the founder of ‘The Truth About Addiction’, a compelling podcast that delves into the depths of mental health, addiction, and the path to recovery. I will share my own journey and unveil the raw and powerful stories of individuals from all walks of life; from current addicts to those on the road of recovery and the families affected. Every tale is genuine and unfiltered.
Addiction doesn't discriminate, but neither does hope. If one person resonates with one’s story, if one person can find hope and empowerment from one’s story, it’s a win.
If you have a specific topic in mind or want to share your own story, don't hesitate to reach out. This is your invitation to enjoy our extraordinary chats, where hope prevails, and recovery is not just a dream but an awe-inspiring reality.

The Truth About Addiction
Ep95. Braiden Tonks, drug dealing, addiction, homelessness and jail before finding recovery
Braiden’s addiction journey stemmed from his family’s generational struggles with alcoholism and domestic violence. He vividly recalls the destructive encounter with ice, leading to drug dealing and resulting in his incarceration. He describes the period of homelessness as the ‘saddest part of his life’.
Today, approaching a commendable two years of recovery, Braiden runs his own podcast/video production show and is a proud father and a devoted husband. He keeps it simple, prioritising his family.
“My end goals are to live a long and healthy, loving life with my beautiful family.”
