Addiction From Every Angle: Recent Episodes
Dan Dixon
Story of addiction. But not just from the view of the person battling addiction but also the viewpoint from the family, friends, significant others and any other relationship that was impacted. My name is Dan. And for 13 years I battled addiction and nearly lost my life,TWICE. During that time I was broken both internally and externally. For me, it came down to having what we would call a spiritual awakening with God for the hurts, habits and hangups to finally get worked on. Today I am a Certified Addictions Counselor, Certified Addiction Recovery Empowerment Specialist(CARES) and a Forensic Peer Mentor. These certifications have allowed me to go back and help others who have struggled like I once did. And to help them find their own pathway to Recovery.Im also a Husband, Daddy and someone who is working to continue to be a person in this world who is helping others be on this side of Addiction.
This week we have an amazing conversation that needs to be heard by any and everyone. Dr. Rouse is unpacks what it means to truly see the heart from a physical and spiritual angle and how addiction affects so much.

Ever wondered how the resilience of faith and familial love can pull someone through the most significant trials of life? Join me, wrapped in the comforting aura of Mama June's kitchen in Carrollton, Georgia, where we delve into heartwarming tales from her past, and the strength she found in faith during my battle with addiction. We reminisce about her childhood, a time peppered with dramatic events such as surviving a lightning strike as a toddler. Our conversation also touches upon the beauty of her enduring marriage to my Papa Billy, the joys of motherhood of 6 kids, and her unshakeable belief in my recovery. As we discuss her role as a matriarch of a sprawling family- five kids, and fourteen grand children and 9 great-grandchildren, she reflects on how her faith and the love of those around her have shaped her journey.
As we transition into talking about sobriety, we explore the nuances of this challenging yet rewarding journey. We delve into the transformative power of love and how it aids in this journey, shedding light on how essential familial support can be in these challenging times. From the coziness of our kitchen conversation, we aim to bring you warmth, hope, and a testament to the strength of love and faith in the face of adversities. Our candid discussion serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with similar issues and stands as a testament to the power of gratitude and faith.
