This week I am joined by Jerry who is talking about his experiences with mental health issues from a young age. The challenges that Jerry faced lead to a long period of issues with alcohol and other substances.
As those who have been through similar issues know, the journey away from substance abuse is challenging and full of ups and downs. Jerry very honestly talks us through his experiences along his journey.
There are loads of great techniques that we talk about which have helped Jerry and also myself, as we discuss in the episode. These are great exercises and ways of thinking that you can have a go at.
Jerry also introduces me to a great app called Medito, which is completely free to use and has loads of meditations that you can listen to.
This episode does cover some challenging themes around addiction, coming off medication and suicide so please bear this in mind, if these are issues that could cause you distress. The episode is a very positive one however and has loads of great information if you are struggling with any similar issues.
