Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ? · Dr. Adi Jaffe: The Truth About Addiction, Trauma, Shame, and Breaking Free · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

I always used to have a lot of social anxiety, and so I would have to get really drunk before I would go to events because I didn't want to be judged.

But the judgment was happening in my own head, right?

So that's where shame, I think, comes in.

The moment we remove, and it's funny, as we get older, we care less about it, right?

When I was 14, 18, 25, I really cared what people thought about me.

I'm almost 50.

I'm not going to say I don't care at all what people think about me, but I don't care about it all that much.

And that provides a lot of relief so that I can act in ways that are more aligned with who I want to be.

Difficult to get there for some people.

Definitely difficult to speed up that process.

We didn't talk about it much, but I went through a lot.

And not that early in life.

I was in my mid to late 20s, early 30s.

But including my own addiction story, getting arrested, spending time in jail.

By my late 20s, early 30s, I was confronted with a reality, which was parts of my life were going to make people feel uncomfortable.

Because I'd sold drugs.

I'd used drugs.

I'd gone to jail.

I had nine felonies on my record.

You know, everything is double-sided, right?
