The years that followed saw Joe’s relationship with drugs and alcohol take over. 14 years of sobriety and soul searching later led him to a BPD diagnosis that finally gave him something to address, and an ADHD diagnosis that only came in 2025. It's raw, it's funny, it's one of the most remarkable conversations the podcast has ever had.
