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
Ep106. Jonathan Mendonca, from opioid addiction to living ‘Life on Life’s Terms’
Jonathan's book, "Life on Life's Terms," swiftly ascended to the bestseller ranks on Amazon following its release last December. This literary work not only chronicles Jonathan's personal journey through profound adversity but also provides a comprehensive explanation of the transformative impact of the 12-step program of Narcotics Anonymous in liberating him from the grips of opioid addiction.
Confronting the tragic loss of his beloved brother to suicide, Jonathan had to forge a path toward a renewed existence defined by recovery and a positive mindset. It was amidst this journey that he penned "Life on Life's Terms" as a poignant tribute to his brother.
For those eager to delve into Jonathan's compelling narrative, "Life on Life's Terms" is available for purchase on Amazon. You can also track his advocacy for mental health awareness by following his journey on Instagram @getlifteddd
