An addiction to oxytocin (over presecribed by what these pushers are referred to as a Frontline hEr0 nowadays) turned into a MASSIVE habit.
For the last 14 years of the addiction i shot them up.💉
I was a full blown junkie.
7 heart attacks, sepsis, a coma and 9.5 hours open heart surgery put an end to that.
I'm 5 years clean.
I was soooo lost....

Hi Chris, thanks for the input and delighted to hear you're 5 years clean. Check out episode 13 if you get a chance. I would be curious to hear your input. Therapists and Psychiatrists over here are doing lots of amazing work in challenging circumstances with the best available science and evidence they have at the time but no doubt there are disreputable actors incentivised to push the boundaries and sometimes acting due to financial interest rather than the best interest of the patient.
It's a shame the great work Psychiatrists and Therapists do can sometimes be undermined by unscrupulous actors.
Don't forget to Share Tim's story with someone who could benefit from hearing it. Very inspiring 👍
