Craig's Story: Fleeing to find a new kind of family
Update: 2025-03-04
Description
Within Craig’s voice you can hear the generational trauma he has carried across the country in his quest for both freedom from addiction and negative influences. In this episode, we hear how he faced his own mortality, made brave, gutsy calls to go it alone and create a brand-new life for himself. Pleasingly, Craig’s discovered how his search for work has also provided him with a renewed sense of family. In a time when loneliness has become an epidemic, Craig’s new-found connections are life-affirming.
*PLEASE NOTE: This episode includes references to drug use, addiction, mental health issues and family trauma.
