About this episode
Join us as Drew Callner takes us through his years of active addiction, moving to Alabama, and finally finding a community where he no longer felt like an outsider.
Drew Callner is an award-winning filmmaker, who moved to Alabama from his hometown, Seattle, Washington. Drew discusses what his early substance use looked like as a teenager. Then, Drew walks us through the progression of his substance use disorder, and how he found the connection he had been missing through recovery support groups, like AA and HA.
