A Journey Through Addiction and Recovery
The speaker reflects on their early experiences with drugs, noting that they grew up in Brighton, a city known for its drug culture, and began experimenting with substances at a young age. They describe a pivotal moment when they tried cocaine for the first time at 17 while on vacation, and how they used drugs as a temporary escape from the constant chatter in their mind associated with ADHD. They later realize that their struggles with addiction stemmed from internalized anger, especially when unable to confront loved ones about their feelings. This revelation helped them lay the groundwork for understanding their addiction, ultimately leading to a deeper exploration of their emotions and the steps necessary for recovery.
