Louis Ruggiero welcomes David Millar for an honest conversation about addiction recovery, cocaine addiction, sobriety, and rebuilding a life after hitting rock bottom.

David shares how his substance use escalated rapidly from teenage drinking and cocaine use into psychosis, psychiatric hospitals,

Louis and David also discuss relapse prevention, life after addiction, rebuilding family relationships, running as a tool for personal growth, and why David believes people struggling with addiction must learn to accept the discomfort that comes with change.
