In this podcast, Bruno J. recalls his early life leading up to the beginning of his journey into alcoholism and drug addiction. He concludes that:
- It doesn't matter that a young man has a great upbringing if he develops a sense of being exempt from the rules.
- The desire to escape reality is not a conscious choice; it arises from an immature mind coming to twisted conclusions at the time.
- Alcohol and drug abuse will pave a slippery slope that is impossible to detect until one looks back to see how far and deep the slide can take you.
- Being an infantile personality who doesn't want to be held accountable for anything he says or does is a shared characteristic of most alcoholics and addicts.
