Episode 97 - Addiction & Authentic Adversity with Chris Howe
Chris Howe of Authentic Adversity Podcast is a podcaster, firefighter, business owner (of Bond Street Tattoo) & a recovery speaker.
Chris endured 17 long years of addiction to alcohol and drugs while working as a firefighter. He always felt he was different from everyone else in the department. He was heavily tattooed & spent his time away from the job with alcoholics, addicts & criminals. This double life filled him with self hatred & secrets. He’d been affected deeply by childhood sexual trauma & PTSD & had no place to put it. He bottled up his feelings & used massive amounts of alcohol and drugs to numb it all.
Eventually the internal pressure became too much, resulting in 3 suicide attempts in 3 years before finally finding recovery on the morning he wrote his final suicide plan.
Today, Chris is 13 years sober, a Captain with the Niagra Falls Fire Department & an addiction recovery speaker. He shares his story in & out of the prison system, leads a Buddhist inspired recovery group & hopes to inspire others through his actions & his new life in recovery.
In this raw & inspiring conversation with Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics, Chris bares his soul, including his relationship with drugs & alcohol, heavy metal & punk music, tattooing, parenting, addiction, along with training and nutrition as a platform to recovery. He also shares the residual effects of years of abuse & of the person who saw Chris for what he was 17 years ago & the path he offered that allowed Chris to climb out of addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Chris lives, works and podcasts between Niagara and Tulum and is available for speaking engagements.
