A Monkster’s Tale: Zed’s Journey from Cannabis to Clarity - Breaking the Chains of Addiction

Episode 124: A Monkster's Tale: Zed's Journey from Cannabis to Clarity This week Mike and Nat welcome Zed to the podcast to tell his story of his weed and alcohol addiction, and his recovery through the 12 steps. Zed began smoking weed and drinking in college and things quickly got out of hand. A speeding arrest, coupled with the impending arrival of his first child, became Zed's turning point towards the healing path of the 12 steps. Now, as a certified SMART Recovery Coach who also champions the profound impact of the 12 Steps, Zed's blended approach to aiding others in their recovery is both refreshing and inspiring.   *This podcast does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
