Episode 144 w/ Chris Connolly

This is a powerful tale of pulling yourself back from the brink, and escaping even the darkest moments.

Chris found himself trapped in a spiral of drink and drugs that led to extreme paranoia and psychosis - to the point he believed a hitman was chasing him, and his family were aiding the plot to kill him.

Today Chris runs 5km (at least) every day, and he has done that for over 200 days in a row now. The road between these two points was winding, often rough, and ultimately inspiring.

Chris tells us this story in fascinating detail, explores where the root causes of his addictions may have been, and we talk about how the problems that caught Chris are right now impacting a lot more young people than we probably like to admit.
