  • Resumen

  • ***This is a throwback episode from our first podcast, "The Stiicky Eddie Podcast," published in August 2022. Partnerships and promo codes mentioned have since expired.***

    WARNING: This episode contains mentions of physical and emotional abuse, and suicide/self harm.   Tim Lodgen is so much more than his addiction: he is a husband, father, son, veteran, athlete, and advocate. He is a gorgeous storyteller, with a haunted, complex past. He is kind and funny, and very generous with his time (we would know, we took a LOT of it this week). He is also someone who involuntarily gave 27 years to opioid and alcohol abuse, and almost took his own life more than once.  I have been looking at a lot of old family photos lately, and I believe there is a universal truth behind the monster we know as addiction: NO ONE starts as a little kid who thinks, "When I grow up, I want to feel desperately miserable and be in so much pain that I have to mask it with substances and suffer great consequences." It's heartbreaking to think of the weight of this guilt bearing down on any young person's shoulders. Tim's story of how he worked his way through trauma and depression, and began to unlock his gifts, is so beautiful. He is most certainly an inspiration- and a wonderful example of taking a closer look at the person behind the addiction. Hopefully, this episode will inspire just one person to come out of that shadow.  I ask you to trust me when I say- you are NOT alone. If you are struggling, please reach out. There are actually helpful resources available and if you don't know where to start, we are happy to help. When we spoke to Tim, I can say with certainty that Suzanne and I were blown away. We can't imagine a world without someone like him in it- and thanks to his hard work, and the support of his loved ones, we don't have to.  You're worth it, too.    (Original show notes by Chelsea Pegues)   Follow our CURRENT show on IG: @lets_try_this_again_pod   Please rate and review us on your podcast platform.
