{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"From Addiction to Self-Acceptance: David Deane Haskell’s Story","description":"In this episode, Kelly and Ian are joined by author David Deane Haskell for a powerful conversation about addiction, childhood trauma, codependency and the work that can begin once the alcohol is gone.\n\nDavid lost his mum at just four years old and later discovered she had taken her own life. He shares how those early experiences shaped the way he saw himself and contributed to a decades-long struggle with alcohol, drugs and unhealthy relationships.\n\nBut getting sober was only the beginning.\n\nDavid talks openly about discovering codependency, learning to understand the beliefs and behaviours he'd carried from childhood, and how inner-child work became an important part of his recovery.\n\nWe also explore why removing alcohol can sometimes uncover things we've spent years avoiding, how our childhood experiences can continue to influence us as adults, and why recovery can be about much more than simply not drinking.\n\nDavid is the author of Wounded Angels, a memoir exploring trauma, grief, addiction, recovery and finding your authentic voice.\n\nA fascinating conversation about what can sit underneath addiction — and the journey of discovering who you are without it.\n\n📗Wounded Angels (https://mybook.to/woundedangels)\n📕Support journal (https://innerchildjournal.substack.com)\n🌐More about David (https://daviddeanehaskell.com) -\n\nTo find out more about the Alcohol Uncensored community, visit:\n🌐 Website: alcoholuncensored.co.uk (http://alcoholuncensored.co.uk/)\n📧 Email: team@alcoholuncensored.co.uk\n\nCredits:\nPodcast editing Anna Carewe (https://www.annacarewe.com/ber-mich)\nMusic by Seren 4 Ever (https://s4e.lsnto.me/serenforever)","author_name":"Alcohol Uncensored: The Sobriety Podcast","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5160689-alcohol-uncensored-the-sobriety-podcast","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43798836/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
