Introduction To The Breaking Free From Addictions Podcast

Addiction is a relentless destroyer, claiming more American lives each year than the combined fatalities from World War I, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. It shatters families, fuels fatal overdoses, and traps millions in cycles of alcohol, drugs, eating disorders, gambling, pornography, internet, and phone addiction—often in silence, as society's big secret. Whether you're battling it personally, grieving a loved one, supporting an adult child, or healing from a chaotic upbringing, the pain, hopelessness, and isolation can feel insurmountable.

The Breaking Free From Addictions Podcast pulls back the curtain with raw, honest, science-backed truth—no platitudes, no quick fixes. Hosted by Barry M. Gregory, Ed.D., M.Ed., BA, a current professional recovery coach with over three decades of research, training and clinical work on the front lines of the addiction crisis, it delivers weekly tips and tools to help individuals, moms, parents, and family members prevent overdose, end relapse, and get the tools they need to build a healthy, balanced lifestyle and a life worth living.

We focus on enhancing your motivation to change, uncovering root causes of addiction often caused by trauma, and equipping you with proven and practical skills for immediate relief from past and current pain and for building a new, rewarding, and fulfilling life.

Through our CBT-Based Recovery Coaching Support Services, we provide personalized guidance to address those root causes head-on, boost your drive for change, and help you craft the fulfilling life you deserve—free from addiction's grip. If you're ready for a better life in recovery, please text or call to schedule a free, confidential consultation. Thank you for listening. Please share this podcast with someone you know who might benefit. Tune in next week to our episode entitled "Smart Love Recovery Strategies for people impacted by addiction in the family.
