18. What Addiction Really Looks Like—No Matter Where You’re From

In this episode of The Unbroken with Sam Davis, I sit down once again with my friend and fellow interventionist, Pej Man. Pej grew up Persian on the West Coast, while I was a country white kid on the East Coast. On the surface, our worlds couldn’t have been more different—but when it comes to addiction, our struggles, pain, and journeys to recovery were almost identical. Together, we dive into: • The surprising similarities between addiction stories across cultures • The powerful role family dynamics play in both addiction and recovery • What compassionate intervention really looks like • Why addiction doesn’t discriminate—affecting people from every walk of life This is a raw and real conversation that proves addiction is the great equalizer, breaking down barriers of culture, class, and geography. 👉 Sponsored by Intervention On Call – connecting families to interventionists and support when they need it most. 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more conversations that bring truth, hope, and real solutions to families impacted by addiction.
