the first step: embracing your journey to sobriety (feat. Damian Bloss)

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of alcoholism and suicide!In this episode of lethal venom, I chat with Damian Bloss. Damian was in active addiction for 20 years. His self destruction started with the loss of a close family member who died by suicide and Damian was the only one who knew he had this thought. He carried that guilt for 20 years suppressing it with alcohol until he had to do something about it. Damian has been sober since February 13, 2020, and is dedicated to inspire others on their journey to recovery. Damian is the author of two powerful books, “Breaking the Silence: My Journey from Addiction to Healing” (published April 2024) and “Recovering Out Loud” (due out in Spring of 2026) sharing my personal story of transformation and hope.To learn more about Damian, go to his website http://www.btsrecovery.net/ or by following his social media pages.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1A6ekP965D/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/damianb1104?igsh=MXVpbmg0MjV2NzgwNQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrAs always a huge thank you to PodMatch for sponsoring today’s episode!
