  • Summary

  • Join me in this raw, powerful and touching podcast where I discuss the effects of addiction and alcoholism on children caught in the crossfire. I am joined by my son Taylor Hawker who discusses his personal story of watching his father fall into the grips of addiction. Taylor shares about the father he once knew, loved and respected as a child and as a teen the father who fated away and became a stranger he resented and hated. I interview Taylor with no holding back questions as I take him through a timeline of my fall into an addiction nightmare of over a decade. Taylor describes seeing his father slowly becoming someone he didn't recognize and eventually turn into a man he was completely embarrassed of, especially around his friends. He discusses how he eventually isolated himself in his room or found any excuse to stay away from home. JT tells the stories throughout the timeline of being a person out of control, creating chaos, becoming selfish and not caring how his actions were causing pain in his children's lives. Taylor is honest and courageous as he talks about specific times he remembers me being in multiple events of psychosis, being taken out of the house on a gurney by paramedics, seeing his two fathers fighting constantly, having his friends witness the madness, having hope when I would go to rehab, the disappointment of constant relapses I went through and when he finally gave up when he saw me in one of my most insane moments of psychosis and shooting a gun out the window. Taylor discusses the difference between the times I have cleaned up versus what he sees in me now. Taylor offers hope to other children of alcoholics and addicts and makes suggestion on how to survive the madness, sadness and worry. This was one of the hardest interviews I have had to do but also one of the most important, not only for me but for other addicts who may not know exactly what their children or loved ones went through and may not know exactly how much love and forgiveness they have for us and are willing to offer. Please join me in listening to The Sober Truth of how addiction and alcoholism impact the lives of our children and how a twelve step program can heal deep routed wounds.
