Episode 05 - Food is the Root of All Evil
The Insanity Project
I am a recovering addict with over 31 years of recovery. I am here to tell my stories of the insanity involved in addiction and in recovery. Along the way, I developed Type 1 Diabetes when I was 21. Diabetes and addiction are not a good combination. After being in recovery for 4 years, I went back to school to become a recording engineer. I worked in Los Angeles at some of the greatest studios with some of the most amazing (and not so amazing) people. After a tough life decision choice, I changed direction and started my own IT company. Come with me on my journey through the dark depths of addict behavior to the true-life adventures of an addict in recovery from myself. Listener discretion is advised. Subject deals with mature themes, drug addiction, true crime, hallucinations, periods of low self-esteem, the seven words you can never say on television, and smoking.

I recount my adventure of being 16 years old and witnessing a bonafide UFO (see disclaimer). The advent of new disclosures about UFOs coming out in 2021 from several agencies and governments makes me wonder what happened. But then again, see the disclaimer for my full disclosure.
Disclaimer: My buddy and I had taken some psilocybin mushrooms.

I will take you on a journey of the night I went to my high school homecoming football game with my girlfriend. I talked her into taking a hit of acid with me. We went on an acid trip journey on my motorcycle. Not only was I young & stupid, but I was a jerk to put her in harm's way. The stupid things drug addicts do.

I tell the insane story of my final journey of why my addiction had to stop. I finally had enough of the non-stop use of drugs, sex, lying, stealing, and cheating. You will hear a sad, pathetic path to my discovery there's something wrong with me and how I finally decided enough was enough. At 30 years old, it was no longer fun to be a participant in the insanity of addiction.

Who Am I?
THE GOOD:
I am a recovering addict who got clean in 1991. This podcast will tell my trials and tribulations of being in recovery and addiction. I started using drugs at 13 and got clean at 30. I returned to school and became a recording engineer at Los Angeles recording studios. I worked with some amazing people. I started my own computer repair and consulting business. I got married, for the first time, at the ripe old age of 52, to my soulmate. I have reinvented myself constantly while staying clean. I have many stories about my adventures, misadventures, successes, and failures.
THE BAD:
I have lost friends, loved ones, girlfriends, money, careers, self-respect, years of my life, and a general desire to live.
THE UGLY:
Ugghhh, all of the things listed in the graphic. The drugs, stealing, non-stop lying, cheating, obsession with sex, food, and danger. Living in fear and wanting to run away from everything is no way to live.
