108: How Jail Saved Doug Bopst's Life + Overcoming Addiction and Shame

In this episode I’m talking to author, speaker, podcast host and trainer Doug Bopst about how he overcame years of addiction, shame and self loathing—and how being incarcerated on felony drug charges ultimately saved his life. Whether you have struggled with addiction or not, Doug has helpful tips for how to create habits to live your best life; how to change negative self talk; what habits to start doing today for a successful future; how to help a loved one who is struggling and so much more. We talk about our shared experience of using drugs and external things to numb uncomfortable feelings, and how to change that behavior in the present.
