S2E11 Addiction Recovery thru the Outdoors with Waller Whittemore

On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, I sit down with my east-coast homie, Waller Whittemore. Now, let me just get WAY out ahead of this one and tell you right now that Waller’s a recovering drug addict, currently working on his 7th year of sobriety. We’re lucky to have Waller, and this tell-all conversation is proof that he prolly shouldn’t even be  even alive today. He’d be the first to tell you that his persistent family and his own raw passions for hunting, fishing, and surfing, all helped save his life. I guess the formal verbiage is “Listener Discretion Advised”, so let's just all stop right here for a second. This prolly ain’t the best episode to listen to with your young kids. Or your elderly parents. I just don’t think that’s a good idea. This episode discusses topics of hard-drug use, addiction, relapsing, and ultimately the continuous and complicated road to recovery. At the end of this episode, Waller encourages anyone listening who’s struggling with, or knows someone struggles with drug addiction, to personally reach out to him for help. And he genuinely means it! I’ll even help hold him to it and make sure all you guys can find links to this kids social. You can find him on IG @wwthittemore71. So listen up. Shits about to get pretty heavy. But fear not, Waller defeated the literal worst of odds and this story has a beautiful ending.
