In this episode I chat with 29 year old Patrick Kennedy on the day of his 1 year of sobriety milestone.  I loved this chat, for such a young guy Patrick has so much wisdom, which only comes from someone who has pulled themselves through the darkness. 
We talk about asking for help when you just can't say the words, seeing yourself as you really are,  our shared hatred of small talk and how that fuels most social anxiety (in our not so expert opinion), cracking yourself open in front of people, the importance of connection and seeking professional help.
