Escaping Rock Bottom

Hi! My name is Brandon Lee - a 5x Emmy Award winning news anchor and recovering addict. I celebrated 10 years of sobriety on 2-22-2020. This podcast is all about people who have suffered addiction & share their experience, strength, and hope. I talk about child sex abuse, drug addiction, sex addiction, and trauma. It's my belief that untreated trauma is the gateway to addiction. We don't hold back. We all speak our truth. Raw & unfiltered! This podcast is designed to give hope to those who are hurting.

How Childhood Trauma Leads To Addiction

June 30, 2022 • Brandon • Season 3 • Episode 13

In this episode you will meet Ian Day. Ian gives an incredible testimony about how recovery has not only saved his life, but it's allowed him to create a life he truly never thought was possible. He talks about childhood bullying and child sex abuse that he experienced. He also talks about his time in jail and how that became an opportunity to get sober. At one point in his life he lost custody of his son, but his story is proof that if we focus on healing ourselves our lives will only get better. In fact, he ended up getting back full custody about a year after staying sober. It's a powerful story of how AA/12 Step Programs have given him a new lease on life!
