248. It's Time to Start Living My Life Addiction Free with Alex and Bash
“I always thought cocaine was going to be in my life.”
For over 20 years, Alex lived in addiction, crime, emotional suppression, and survival mode.
Now, just weeks into recovery, he joins Patrick alongside recovery coach Bash for a raw and honest conversation about what starts to happen when someone begins reconnecting with themselves again.
This episode explores addiction, self-worth, emotional suppression, honesty, recovery, and the small daily changes that begin helping people rebuild their lives.
Together, they discuss:
- Why so many men struggle to express emotion
- The role self-worth plays in addiction
- Why recovery is about more than just “stopping”
- Meditation, breathwork, sleep, and emotional regulation
- Learning how to feel again after years of numbing
- Rebuilding relationships and becoming more present
There are moments in this conversation that are uncomfortable, vulnerable, and deeply human.
But underneath all of it is a powerful conversation about change, responsibility, and the possibility of rebuilding your life no matter where you’re starting from.
