I Lived a Horrible Life - Part 1 of 2

In this podcast, Bruno J. discusses what life was like and what happened to make him realise there was hope of living a better, as opposed to a horrible life.

We learn that:

  1. For many of us, we try to keep up appearances despite the emptiness and despair inside of us.
  2. That leads us to lead a double life until that act blows up when addiction or alcoholism takes over and we lose our material position.
  3. We, addicts, are completely unaware that addiction has taken over our lives and changed us in ways we would not recognise. An example is how I became a violent person, in fact violating every good value I once held dear.
  4. It took another eight years of a horrible, insane life going ever further down (despite short-term success along the way, and lots of money to burn) before I woke up to what was really going on.
  5. It may seem strange to you, but I was relieved to learn that instead of being clinically insane, all I had was an advanced case of addiction and alcoholism which explained almost all the crazy symptoms. There was hope at last.
