It's an Inside Job Kid, a memoir of trauma alcohol and drug abuse, mental illness& love -Steve Moffe
On today's episode of Beat Your Addictions John Giordano interviews author Steve Moffe
About Steve-
Steve grew up during the 60's and 70's in a large family; he was the fifth of seven children. Their home was located in the rough part of a small city near a railroad depot in Elmira, New York. It was a blue collar community of upstate New York, consisting of Eastern European, Black, Italian, and Irish immigrants. My father(Italian decent) had a six grade education, and my mother (Irish) having a high school diploma. Steve had suffered from a severe head trauma at the age of one. In his early years, he, his mother and siblings suffered from physical and emotional abuse by his father. Through his formative years in school, he struggled with undiagnosed dyslexia, and had a very difficult time throughout his education until high school.
During his 'formative' years and long after he left his home, his parents’ marriage was a very contentious one, and affected him deeply as of course it would negatively affect most kids. Personally, Steve considered himself a loner with the exception of one or two close friends, he tended to isolate more often than not. For the most part, when it came to adolescence (and) girls, he was a bit naïve and shy until he began using alcohol that arguably changed his life and his behavior; and not for the good.
Although he considers his childhood has being a very difficult one, in part because of his life choices, but predominantly much of it because of his father's outbursts of rage and anger towards his mother, siblings and himself, there were a number of good childhood memories too. All of that aside, Steve struggled growing up. At the age of about thirteen he began drinking, having sex and smoking marijuana. Between the years of 13 and 18 drinking was a part of his life mostly on weekends and holidays, except for his high school years while participating in sports he did behave. By in-large, Steve was more or less dedicated to his sports and avoided Imbibing during these times.
All of that change after his early discharge from the United States Navy, and a few unforeseen events while entering and during his time in the service that changed the direction of his life forever. He was discharged after nine months, and his drinking began again, and use of several street drugs. His life floundered for time after his discharge until he found a job as an orderly and ICU technician at a local hospital. He was good at what he did, but his life coping skills were pretty much nonexistent as he had turned to more and more to alcohol and drugs to cope with life issues and his past, until he was married; he chose to leave the drinking and drugging to his past at least for awhile. He was married for 20 years with two beautiful daughters who are now married and successful in their chosen professions. Early in his marriage came the loss of his brother to AIDS in 1993, then the drinking and drugs came back into the picture.
Compared to Steve's childhood, it seems his daughters we're spared the abuse that he suffered, however, although Steve avoided the negative traits of being physically and emotional abusive towards his daughters, his torment lies in the fact that he wasn't always present as a full-time father because of turning to alcohol or drugs to cope with the loss of his brother and loathing his career as a prison guard. These circumstances lead to years of him being treated with psychotropic drugs to control his mental illness and eventually, electroconvulsive therapy( shock treatments); in addition to being in and out of mental health facilities and years later, a second alcohol and substance-abuse rehab.

In it, Mary shares her story that in mid-life, she discovered the root cause driving her struggle with relationships, health, and work, and her past struggle with alcohol, drugs, food, and severe obesity was a condition known as Complex PTSD, a more severe form of PTSD that developed from her being raised in a chaotic alcoholic home. This discovery sent her on a five-year journey where she researched leading experts in the fields of C-PTSD, neuroscience, developmental psychology, adverse childhood experiences, and addiction medicine to find the most effective treatments for optimal healing. As she embarks on her trauma-healing journey, she shares experiencing one mind-blowing revelation after another as she learned C-PTSD was operating behind the scenes sabotaging her weight, recovery, relationships, career, and health.

I’ve been delivering science-based solutions over 3 decades helping tens of thousands of people to stop adapting their lifestyle to pain and health problems that accelerate the aging process. I help people who are aging prematurely even though they are eating quality foods, exercising and thinking good thoughts and/or trying to avoid inherent diseases, yet still feel they are spinning their wheels with little or no results. When you stop adapting your lifestyle to pain and health problems that prematurely age you, you can reclaim their most precious asset, your health. You are not your DNA. My services are unique and create successful outcomes. I focus on finding and treating the cause of the problem that is unique to you, instead of chasing symptoms or ignoring important signs that may become fatal diseases or definitely one you do not want. I call this “Grim Reaper Syndrome” ! You want a system that is simple and successful with positive results in as short of time as possible, and for some in as little as a few weeks- successful results count ! The main outcome of my system is the aging process that is inevitable, can now be graceful and healthy. One by one health issues become irrelevant and you can have the great life you dreamed, deserve and that you worked so hard for yourself and for your loved ones who need you.
How Resetting Your Body Can Help You Achieve the Life You Could Only Dream Of
In today's episode of Beat Your Addictions podcast we interview Amy Guerrero about the importance of gut health and healing the body's pathways to open your life up to achieving your dreams and staying sober in recovery. About Amy- I spent two years stumbling around in the dark trying to find my path to freedom. All I wanted was to fully accept myself; to feel whole and happy living sober. But I was stuck. I was pretending to be happy, thinking, the next meeting, the next therapy session – that’s when I’m going to be 'fixed,' finally confident and comfortable in my own skin. It wasn't happening. When I reflect on this journey… What kept me going? I was driven by a vision of success – that building this for myself meant I could then share it with others. When I stopped using drugs and alcohol I turned my healing into my work and started sharing years of education and teaching to coach people to live life with freedom, fun, and clarity in all areas of their life in recovery. Thrive in Recovery will help you discover your purpose to create the life you desire to go beyond surviving to thriving in all areas of life. Why am I so passionate about this work? My passion comes from knowing what we do together is different than anything I found during my own recovery. What does that mean? It means I tried everything. I tortured myself, studying all the books, workbooks and resources of 12-steps, Celebrate Recovery, Refuge Recovery, SMART Recovery, and Life Ring (to name a few). My approach blends the best of those and other recovery paths to create a tailor-made journey exactly for you and your specific needs, desires, and goals. I know one-on-one healing and thriving creates a ripple effect, breaking unhealthy patterns in your relationships forever. I know it can start with you right now.

You Have To Kill Your Demons - Interview with Enrique Aponte
On Today's episode of 'Beat Your Addictions' podcast, we are interviewing Enrique Aponte of Enrecoverytogether. More about Enrique- I understand you. I have fought the battle and I want to support you and see you become victorious. Over twenty years ago I was struggling with devastating life-controlling compulsions, destructive behaviors, and, devastating consequences. I know that feeling of overwhelming hopelessness very intimately. It took for me to secure professional help to bring out of me what I needed for my clarity of mind, sobriety and a joyful life. That experience in conjunction with my recovery journey inspired me to develop what I call the 3 C’s and 4C's Methods. I have personally traveled the path that you need to navigate to discover how to get past and stay away from the following and more: The self-perception of not being good enough for a great life ahead because of shame and guilt. The thoughts of inadequacy and second-guessing your potential to be genuinely happy in sobriety. The insidious disbelief of the fact that there is a strategy at hand to achieve a sober-minded, productive, and overall joyful life.

You Don't Have To Swallow Your Gun - Men and Mental Health with Tim Krass
In today's episode of 'Beat Your Addictions' podcast we discuss the importance of men acknowledging their mental health with expert Tim Krass who himself has survived through severe depression and suicide attempts.
Tim Krass’ harrowing, dramatic personal story weaves its way throughout his book YOU DON’T HAVE TO SWALLOW YOUR GUN. Tim lived with depression, suicide attempts and has studied masculinity for more than thirty-seven years. His diagnosed condition of ‘severe depressive disorder that is recurring’ was the reason that he abused marijuana, and that he had a knife in his hand in order to slit his wrists and bleed out. This condition ruined his business and personal relationships and retarded his growth as a human being. His condition was a factor in causing his heart attack as well as expanding the size of his ego, which limited his quality of life. Despite having a heart attack, Tim has lived through a severe depressive disorder that is recurring as well as his forty-one year addiction to drugs and alcohol. He understands what masculinity is and what masculinity is not, so he can ask for help with his diseases and give his best to living a healthy and happy life. He is dedicating his life to create awareness of his story so that other men don’t have to go through the pain and suffering that he experienced because men CAN get the support they require to manage their depression and many times addictions, in order to be the best version of themselves. He wants to help as many people and save as many lives as possible.

Sober Is The New Cool - Interview with Kim Bellas
In this episode of 'Beat Your Addictions' we interview Kim Bellas founder of www.soberisthenewcool.org
ABOUT KIM BELLAS
In 2013, my 15 -year-old started having seizures. Like most teenagers, he enjoyed going to parties and socializing. A significant aspect of these parties was the consumption of alcohol, and my son was unable to drink due to his seizures. As a mother, it was instinctive to make him happy by assuring him that alcohol wasn't necessary for him to enjoy himself. It IMMEDIATELY dawned on me how hypocritical I was being as I found myself frequently drinking wine. To prove a point to my son, I stopped drinking for 3 months. The time went by quicker than I anticipated, and I decided to remain sober for another 3 months. Following 6 months of sobriety, I found myself happier than I had been in a while. What started as an example for my son became something I decided to commit to for my son and myself. It's now 2021, and I am proud to announce that I've been sober for 8 years. Sobriety has changed my outlook on life for the better and has improved both my physical and mental well-being. My goal is to demonstrate that a SOBER LIFE is an exhilarating one, and anyone can reap the benefits.

Today on the latest episode 'Beat Your Addictions' podcast John Giordano and Scott Jones dive into the 'Science of Relapse'.
About John -
It was by no accident that John Giordano chose addiction and mental health treatment as his life’s work. Growing up the son of a heroin dealer and trying to cope with the trauma of being molested as a young boy, he fell hard into drugs and alcohol. Over thirty-five years ago, at the urging of his family, John entered rehab. He emerged a changed man – committed to helping others afflicted by this terrible disease. His new path required new knowledge. He has since earned many degrees and certifications including Certified Addiction Professional (CAP), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Criminal Justice Specialist, Master in Neurolinguistics Programming, Certified Practitioner of E.M.D.R, Certified Sentence Mitigation Specialist, Certified Mindfulness and Powerful Mind-Body Awareness Therapy Skills, International Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor, and in 2008 he was honored with a Doctor of Human Letters from Sinai University in Jerusalem Israel.

The Truth About Porn Addiction
In this episode of 'Beat Your Addictions' we interview pornography addiction expert, speaker and author Joshua Shea.
Joshua Shea is the father of two amazing children and the husband to a wonderful wife. He and his family have a menagerie of cats and dogs and reside in Central Maine, where he was born and raised. Today he works as an author and public speaker, sharing his story and educating others about addiction. Each of his books are available for purchase on Amazon and can be found under the ‘Get Help’ tab on the main menu of paddictrecovery.com.
Joshua believes that if we, as a society, can begin to talk more about pornography addiction and mental health, people may be able to address their addictions before they devolve to the unhealthy and criminal places where his very own hit rock bottom. For years, on the outside, people only saw him as a successful magazine publisher, film festival founder and city councilor.
Joshua hid his mental health issues, pornography and alcohol addictions from the world. The end to this façade came in 2013 after engaging a teen girl in an online chatroom. For this action, he served six months in jail and credits this experience to being the wake-up call needed. Joshua credits his higher-power for giving him the strength to fix his very broken self. Like most in recovery, Joshua understands the issues better than the non-addict.
However, he does not wish his stories, experiences, thoughts and opinions be misinterpreted as any definitive answers. Does he consider himself a pornography addiction expert? At this point, yes. Unfortunately, it’s not hard to be a pornography addiction expert these days. He does believe that what makes him an expert is that he has a multitude of third-hand knowledge from research and interactions with so many pornography addicts.
THE HIGHLIGHTS Pornography Addict for 25 years; Alcohol Addict for 21 years In Recovery and Relapse-Free since March 2014 Alcohol Rehabilitation at Spencer Recovery Center, Palm Springs, Calif., March-June 2014 (including internship and group facilitation) Sex/Porn Addiction Rehabilitation at Sante Center for Healing, Argyle, Texas, May-July 2015
