Get Sober or Die Trying - Lorne

From Cocaine to Crack Rock Bottom: Lorne’s Recovery Story (Rock Bottom with Ryan)Ryan interviews Lorne, a Montreal DJ and longtime cocaine user who transitioned to crack for four years and got sober on December 8, 2022. Lorne describes a normal upbringing, early experimentation with hash and psychedelics, and a pivotal first line of cocaine at a party that led to decades of escalating use. As addiction progressed, he faced mounting financial ruin, constant job changes, evictions, arrests for fraud and theft, and dangerous situations, while continuing to use even during court appearances. A brief attempt at IOP in 2016 ended in relapse. Lorne credits a message and ultimatum from his son as the turning point, then found support through podcasts and online recovery communities, SMART Recovery, and AA, emphasizing meetings, service, boundaries, and rebuilding his relationship with his son.00:00 Basement Party Flashback00:49 Recovery Meetings Mindset01:15 Show Intro and Guest Welcome02:10 Sober Date and Background02:58 Childhood and Family Life04:37 Personality Before Addiction05:32 First High and Teen Experimenting08:27 First Coke Line Turning Point12:06 From Partying to Daily Use14:33 Dealing and Funding the Habit18:28 Consequences Crime and Court23:20 IOP Attempt and Quick Relapse25:30 Parents Find Out Son Born26:59 Addiction Escalates Fast28:07 First Hit of Crack30:00 Work Life Collapses31:47 Evictions and Seizures34:35 COVID Isolation and Despair35:24 Son's Ultimatum38:55 Finding Online Recovery42:10 Community and Service45:12 Rebuilding Relationships48:54 Closing Reflections
