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
Ep113. Director Gary Smith’s must-see comedy SkyFly inspired by his own sobriety
Writer/ Director Gary Smith has been very open about his struggles with alcoholism and his sobriety journey. Through his personal narrative of recovery, relapse, and filmmaking, Gary demonstrates that recovery is attainable and that there are multiple paths to achieving it.
Gary got sober on July 11 of last year. His latest feature film, SkyFly, which was recently released, mirrors his own story. The lead character shares Gary's passion for skydiving and motorcycles, and a similar battle in addiction.
Do not miss this exceptional feel-good comedy-drama! I enjoyed it immensely. Available on Amazon, YouTube, Apple TV, and Google Play.
Follow Gary on Instagram @garysmith700 and @skyflythemovie.
