Panic, Responsibility, And the Urge to Relapse-The Roads I Travelled -Episode 8

After receiving a life‑changing letter, Gerard enters the hardest stretch of his journey yet: the waiting. In this episode, he talks about the days that felt like years, the fear that settled into every quiet moment, and the urge to escape the pain the only way he used to know how.

With a newborn at home and three lives hanging in the balance, he forces himself to face the truth sober — one cigarette, one phone call, one breath at a time.

This is the story of living in the space between what you fear… and what you hope isn’t true.
