16 — The Truth About Alcohol and Addiction Recovery with Former School Principal / Author Daniel Patterson

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin - Un podcast de Amy Morin

Catégories:

People struggling with addiction are often hiding in plain sight. They're your neighbors, co-workers, friends, and maybe even family members. Daniel Patterson used to be one of those people. He was a high school teacher and assistant principal who had a serious, secret drinking problem. He sometimes tried to make changes — and even saw a therapist — but he minimized the impact alcohol had on his life until he finally couldn't ignore it anymore. Some of the things he shares are the tricks his addiction played on him to convince him to keep drinking, the things he tried to reduce his drinking that didn't work, and the short-term experiment that eventually led to recovery.
