The fellas riff about the dangers of p**n addiction. Is it as severe as a drug addiction? Also, what’s the difference between a bonafide p**n addict and a regular guy who just indulges in adult cinema from time to time?

Last night Sam was 30 minutes late to record the podcast. We didn’t get mad though because we know Sam is still in early recovery and his transition from a flaky piece of s**t into dependable human being is not yet complete. How much longer will we put up with Sam’s flakiness until we finally give up on him?

Neighbor: “You used to have problems with substance abuse, didn’t you, Andy?”

Me: “Yeah.”

Neighbor: ”Well, we all have problems. You know wanna som**hing about me? I hate my wife. I hate my job and my kids. I just feel trapped. I don’t know what to do.”

Me: “You ever thought about trying he**in?”

New Junkyland! The guys attempt to answer the big question: is addiction a disease?

Chuck!

New Junkyland! The comedy world is full of pretentious nerds who are constantly trying to convince you how brilliant they are. Chuck Fury is exactly the opposite and that’s why he’s quickly becoming one of the most beloved people in the comedy scene. He’s an authentic weirdo who is who he is. Plus he’s a brother in recovery who has some wild P*P stories. Chuck gets real about how recovery is an improvement over active addiction but it’s still no bed of roses — Chuck is 49 years old, living in his car and trying to make it as a comedian. His life is tough y’all! Despite this, you’ll never catch him whining, feeling bad for himself or playing the victim. Link in comments.

New!

Billie Jean returns to Junkyland! Billie had 15 years clean from m**h and dedicated her life being of service to addicts experiencing homelessness through her organization, Addict to Advocate. Despite being a pillar of the Salt Lake City recovery community and having long-term recovery under her belt, Billie relapsed on he**in after experiencing a series of traumatic events. Her coming forward and being publicly open about her slip up takes extraordinary courage and we are all so happy to have Billie Jean back on the wagon, so she can continue being a source of hope and inspiration to us all. Plus, Andy has a red face and Sam has a gigantic head. Link in comments.

New Junkyland! Terry Burdon had his first drink at age 12 and kept drinking through college and adulthood. Despite some hangovers and other small malarkey, alcohol never had a bad impact on his life, which allowed him to justify his drinking until one night, he got extra smashed and got into an brutal car accident, nearly killing himself. Today, Terry is sober and in recovery but recovery hasn’t been a cakewalk for Terry. Trying to deal with all wreckage he caused while drinking is no easy task. We also talk about the overlap between social media addiction and substance abuse. Fun!

PS – I got new microphones and the audio is kind of funny but it sounds just fine! So relax!
