“The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain.” Gabor Maté

Addiction. I think it’s a topic misunderstood by all but the addict themselves. So who better to talk about addiction, misuse/abuse, and the road to recovery than someone who has lived it?

Jay Shifman’s story isn’t entirely unique or salacious. In some ways, it’s the typical roller coaster associated with addiction and recovery. But Jay Shifman’s view of his addiction, recovery, and how he helps others struggling with his former demons is very different from the common broadcasts around the topic. That’s why he’s joining me on this episode of Did You Know That?
