In this episode, we sit down with Paul Summers Jr., author of "Hide and Seek: A Dad's Journey From Soulless Addiction to Sole Custody." Paul shares his raw and inspiring story of battling addiction, the transformative path to recovery, and his fight to regain custody of his daughter. Join us as we delve into the depths of addiction, the challenges of the recovery process and other systems, and the profound love of a father determined to rebuild his life and family.

Guest Information:

Committed to increasing understanding and connection by dismantling the stigmas toward parents afflicted with substance abuse disorder and their children, Paul has written Hide and Seek: A Dad’s Journey From Soulless Addiction to Sole Custody. His experience-based knowledge offers a frightening glimpse into that which lies at the core of the overdose epidemic – the guiding thoughts within the mind of the addict/alcoholic.

Continuously seeking ways to give back, Paul is a certified sound healer. He creates soundscapes proven by modern neuroscience to ease and heal the damaging effects of withdrawals. One of his guitars is on display at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas, NV.
