Join "Quick Nick" AKA Ari Daniel, host of the exceptional podcast, Addicts in the Dark discussing his show with Kristin. 

About Ari: Growing up, my battle with addiction began at just 14 years old, plunging me into a lifelong struggle that often felt like an uphill battle. Despite finding success in my career as a radio host, addiction lurked in the shadows, casting a dark cloud over my achievements and tarnishing my sense of self-worth. In the world of broadcasting, there's an unspoken pressure to be larger than life, to always be "on" and ready to entertain. It's a realm that demands perfection, or at least the illusion of it, and this expectation weighed heavily on me. Behind the microphone, I grappled with demons that few knew about, using addiction as a coping mechanism to numb the stress and anxiety that came with trying to meet my own expectations of success. It wasn't until I started my journey of recovery that I truly began to understand the depth of my struggle. I realized that addiction wasn't just about the substance itself – it was about the void it filled, the pain it masked, and the connections it severed. In my lowest moments, I found solace in the realization that the opposite of addiction wasn't just sobriety, but genuine human connection. That's why I started my podcast – to create a space where people could share their stories, free from judgment or shame. I wanted to show others that they weren't alone in their struggles and that there was a community of support waiting for them. Through the power of storytelling, I hoped to break down the stigma surrounding addiction and foster a sense of belonging for those who needed it most.
