Born Addicted to 5 Drugs… Then Everything Fell Apart

What happens when addiction, childhood trauma, and pain become part of your life before you even understand what they are? On this episode of My Last Relapse, we hear a raw and emotional story of growing up surrounded by addiction, experiencing trauma at a young age, and watching family relationships become shaped by substance abuse. From being born addicted to five drugs to navigating foster care, family dysfunction, and the lasting effects of childhood trauma, this conversation explores how the past can influence the choices we make as adults. We also hear about how unresolved trauma can fuel a deeper cycle of substance use, the devastating consequences of addiction, and the difficult road toward recognizing the patterns that keep us trapped. Your past may help explain your story, but it does not have to determine your future. My Last Relapse explores what everyone is thinking but no one is saying about addiction and recovery. For anyone disillusioned with traditional recovery and feeling left out, misunderstood, or weighed down by unrealistic expectations, this show looks ahead and rejects the lies and dogma that keep people from imagining life without using.
