Do What You Please

Health EN ↓ 15 episodes

Addiction has been called a chronic disease, a family issue, or a solution to disconnection. Some say it's their escape from monotony. I've stopped trying to figure it out and started having conversations with family and friends exploring who they are and how they self-soothe. There's no normal way to live and get by. Normal is nonexistent. Do what you please...Music by Bennett WildauerLogo by Kelly MooreSocial Media art by Meredith JenusaitisEmail: dowhatyoupleasepod@gmail.com
