## Resource

In this installment of our All Too Human interview series , Breht and Dave welcome Damian into the Shoeless Shed to have an honest conversation about his struggles with alcoholism, methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and incarceration; as well as his admirable path to recovery and sustained sobriety! With these All Too Human interviews, we aim to highlight and destigmatize the mental health and addiction struggles of regular working class people in hopes that we can provide insight into this type of human suffering, help others who struggle with similar things feel less alone, and deepen our understanding of the modern human condition.
