Flip The Script

In this episode I talk with Christopher Connolly who is quite open about his battles with addiction and his new found life surrounded by health, family and love. In this hair-raising episode of Flip the Script Chris describes some of the almost unimaginable times while under the influence of drugs and alcohol: from fleeing the country to finding himself homeless on the streets of London and m uch more. Chris is a true example of someone who made a promise to himself to lead a better life for himself and the ones he loves, and has met addiction head on while inspiring others (including me) in the process. Peace and love, Con
