“After removing yourself from the environment that you associate heavily with your addiction, there’s nothing but choice”
For our 10th episode, we put the host in the guest seat. James Buckley is interviewed by CEO and Co-Founder of UNCrushed, Tim Clarke. James talks of his battle with cocaine addiction, and leaving his first wife. James is one of thousands a year that struggle to keep a relationship with his own children after a messy divorce where bad mouthing and slander corrodes the image of parents in the minds of children. Stories like James’ are all too common in today’s high divorce rate world, and every mistake you ever made is held against you in highly contested divorce proceedings.
