Higher with Mark Levine & Matthew Gellin - Love. War. Trauma. Drugs. Relief. Laughter. Love. Repeat.

Starting with Benjamin’s birth into a loving two-parent household, we see him grow up, take his first sips of beer with his cousin Kyle, strike out with the girl of his dreams, and join the Marines to find purpose. Disaster strikes as both young men struggle to cope with physical and mental trauma. Seeking love and understanding, heroin fills the void and runs rampant. However, Benjamin finds a sense of stability in his newfound love, Mara. While the relationship seems to be perfect to Benjamin and Mara, it creates a terrible rift in Benjamin's family ultimately forcing Benjamin to make the hardest decision of his life.

From a regal penthouse suite overlooking the Columbus skyline Jake Bradshaw (Humans of Addiction) sits down with Aaron to discuss the failed war on drugs and why we should legalize heroin. With over 92,000 overdose deaths last year (the highest number ever recorded) we need to find new ways to curb this epidemic and keep our friends  alive.

The first episode of Tragedy to Triumph wasn’t my story. It was a conversation between my friends Matt Neumann and Michael McKiernan in the 96 Rock studio. These two guys that could help me get it started and understood how important it was to me. Matt a great storyteller who bares his soul and Michael one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. 

In light of Michael’s death, I wanted to release this to our friends, families, and anyone that is struggling.  Not for attention to me but more to the fact that addiction is real and it’s stealing the lives of people we love. 

It’s also nice to hear Michael’s voice. 

I’ve always known the real possibility of relapse or death for one of my friends (and even myself for that matter), but each one of these stories is important to share and that’s what I will continue to do. 

This previously unreleased conversation is now titled: SAINT MICHAEL

Episode 58: Back on TRACK - Matt Peterson

Addiction is a topic that has become far too common within our communities. There is a good chance that addiction has impacted your own life in some way. Perhaps you were stolen from so that an addict could get his or her next fix. Maybe your friend or family member struggles with substance abuse. Maybe it is YOU? BACK ON TRACKmarks is a book about how one young man went from being a well-raised son of a southern Baptist preacher, to a hopeless heroin addict. Love, friendship, partying, drugs, and death. This book goes through, in detail, how Matt was first introduced to opiate pain killers and how his addiction progressed into a heroin addiction that took years away from his friends, family and himself. This book also covers exactly how he was able to recover from his heroin addiction, defines the difference between loving and enabling an addict, different treatment options and advice from Matt's parents and wife. If you are looking for guidance, support or just a great story, BACK ON TRACKmarks is a must read.
