The Insanity Project

A Recovering Addict

I am a recovering addict with over 31 years of recovery. I am here to tell my stories of the insanity involved in addiction and in recovery. Along the way, I developed Type 1 Diabetes when I was 21. Diabetes and addiction are not a good combination. After being in recovery for 4 years, I went back to school to become a recording engineer. I worked in Los Angeles at some of the greatest studios with some of the most amazing (and not so amazing) people. After a tough life decision choice, I changed direction and started my own IT company. Come with me on my journey through the dark depths of addict behavior to the true-life adventures of an addict in recovery from myself. Listener discretion is advised. Subject deals with mature themes, drug addiction, true crime, hallucinations, periods of low self-esteem, the seven words you can never say on television, and smoking. read less

The struggle of coming into recovery and trying to complete Step One. Am I really an addict? I don't think I am powerless. This recovery stuff looks like a scam and I don't see how it can work.

Episode 03 - Meditation, Relaxation, & the UFO
I recount my adventure of being 16 years old and witnessing a bonafide UFO (see disclaimer). The advent of new disclosures about UFOs coming out in 2021 from several agencies and governments makes me wonder what happened. But then again, see the disclaimer for my full disclosure. Disclaimer: My buddy and I had taken some psilocybin mushrooms. The Insanity Project: https://www.theinsanityproject.com/

Episode 04 - Homecoming Week and the Melting Cheerleaders
I will take you on a journey of the night I went to my high school homecoming football game with my girlfriend. I talked her into taking a hit of acid with me. We went on an acid trip journey on my motorcycle. Not only was I young & stupid, but I was a jerk to put her in harm's way. The stupid things drug addicts do.
