Duane Osterlind, the host of The Addicted Mind Podcast says on his about page that addiction has been part of his life since he was seventeen years of age when he was admitted to an inpatient rehab for depression and substance abuse.
Receiving help at such a young age was a key moment for him and helped him to develop the coping skills he needed to help him move on with his life and away from addiction.
A few years later after marrying and losing a young daughter, Duane and his wife realised that they needed help and found the strength to reach out and experiencing the support of others who had been through similarly trying times and now uses the Addicted Mind podcast to get reliable, information about treatment and research into addiction.
