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.

This is a really raw conversation about romanticizing relapse and the shame we feel about even having those thoughts. They say in recovery "just tell someone before you relapse." Well, truth be told, it's not that easy. What if we normalized the conversation about relapse, because the majority of people in recovery have experienced it. Wouldn't that make it easier for someone to come forward and share with someone else that they're thinking about it. If we carry shame about even the thought of it, then most people won't/don't say anything to anyone fearing their reaction. Here's my very candid conversation with a good recovery friend of mine, Tyler Tisdale, who owns one of the premiere recovery centers in Arizona: Pinnacle Peak Recovery.
