Ep. 3, "The Escape: When Coping Turns to Craving”

In this eye-opening episode of A Silent Voice, host Jarrod Franklin sits down with another anonymous guest who opens up about their personal experiences with drug exposure, addiction, and recovery. From watching a stepbrother spiral into weed addiction to nearly becoming dependent on it themselves, the guest brings a layered perspective on how addiction starts, spreads, and often runs deep within communities and families. The guest also shares insight on how addiction can begin not from recklessness, but from the overwhelming need to feel okay. This episode continues Jarrod’s mission to amplify the unheard voices navigating addiction, and spark conversations we all need to be having. Hosted on Acast.
