Welcome to Breaking Free From Addiction! Welcome to the Break Free From Addiction Podcast with me, your host, Dr. Barry M. Gregory Ed.D., M.Ed., BA After more than three decades of working on the front lines of the addiction crisis in America as a licensed professional—and having walked the road of addiction and recovery myself—I know the pain and some of the brutal truths about addiction and relapse, and I want to share some of the lessons learned in this podcast. This podcast is your weekly, science-backed toolkit for lasting recovery. We're here to pull back the curtain on the pain and provide the proven, proactive steps you need to prevent overdose, end relapse, and build a healthy, balanced life worth living. Ready to move beyond quick fixes? We offer CBT Recovery Coaching to help you enhance your motivation, address the root cause of your trauma, and build the skills you need for true, lifelong freedom. If you are listening right now and need a lifeline, text or call us for a free, confidential consultation. Hope is not on pause. Today’s podcast episode is entitled Overdose and Relapse Prevention by Building A Healthy and Balanced Lifestyle and A Life Worth Living. Addiction nearly destroyed me, and I’ve seen it devastate countless others. But I’m here to tell you: there is a way out. This podcast isn’t about platitudes or quick fixes; it’s about science-backed tips and tools to help people develop a healthy, balanced lifestyle and a life worth living without a drink or drug. As you will learn in our upcoming podcasts and from our recovery coaching, our science-backed approach is based on helping people enhance their motivation to change and learn the skills they need to create the life they want, free from any pain and suffering. By discovering the root causes of their addiction, we help people learn how to directly address this trauma or neglect, reducing the need to find immediate relief through addictive and other unhealthy habits. We’re here to pull back the curtain on addiction—no sugar-coating, no excuses—just raw, honest talk about the wreckage it causes and the proven, proactive steps you can take today to prevent overdose, end relapse. If you’re listening right now—whether you’re battling addiction, grieving a loved one lost to it, or terrified for someone you care about—stay with me. This podcast is for you. It’s for people currently fighting addiction, for parents fighting the addiction of an adult child, for people who grew up in alcoholic homes, and the families fractured by the chaos of addiction. It’s for anyone who feels trapped, hopeless, or alone. Please remember you are not alone, and this is your lifeline. Contact Information Barry M.
