Tales from the Jungle - Living with Addiction Chelsea Dimitri

This is Part 2  and the last of my interview with my daughter Casey.  Not only has she come a tremendous way staying sober for over 4 years, but she opens up with secrets your addicts never wanted you to know.

After over four years' clean, Casey has come for a visit and to talk about her hard won life lessons of dealing with addiction from the inside, and what she has needed in support from family members.  This is part one of a two part interview that will be both surprising and revealing.

In this final episode of a 2 part series, I continue my conversation with Angel who gives us an unfiltered and unprecedented view of living and recovering as a Herion/Delaudid addict.

In this Part 1 of a 2 part series, I interview Angel who is an addict recovering from her drugs of choice, Heroin and Delaudid.  Angel gives us a front seat view of her life of addiction and recovery.

In this new series, I am exploring through various interviews how people are coping with the drug and alcohol epidemic.  My first interview is with Alicia Carson, the daughter of an alcoholic dad who created havoc through Alicia's entire childhood.  Alicia gives us her lessons learned.

The work life of an addict can be a double-edged sword – they need to support themselves but it can lead them back down dark alleys. In addition, when and how they choose their dating partners can be equally messy.  In this episode I am talking about pitfalls to watch for and what, if anything can be done.
