À propos de ce contenu audio
Living with bipolar disorder and addiction often feels like walking a tightrope.
Mood swings, substances used to cope, relapses, shame, and isolation can slowly convince you that there’s no way out.
In this episode of Bipolar Talk, we sit down with Andy Dukeshire, a licensed addiction therapist based in Los Angeles, sober for 19 years, who has spent nearly two decades helping people navigate addiction and bipolar disorder together.
In this conversation, we explore:
why bipolar disorder and addiction are so closely linked
why stopping a substance is not about willpower
the critical role of psychoeducation in recovery
how long-term stability actually works (and why it takes time)
how to prevent relapse after hospitalization or crisis
repairing relationships — including forgiving yourself
and most importantly: how to rebuild hope when you feel broken
👉 This episode is for you if:
you live with bipolar disorder
you struggle (or have struggled) with addiction
you are a loved one or caregiver
you work in mental health
💚 At HopeStage, we believe recovery is possible when people are given the right tools, clear information, and real human connection.
