Let's Talk Elephants
"Let's Talk Elephants" is a series of conversations aimed at addressing all the topics that traditionally make people uncomfortable. Sex, money, politics, education, religion, drugs, and more. If it makes you anxious, chances are that is because it is IMPORTANT. Let's talk about the important things instead of fearing them.

A Battle With Addiction & The Road To A Fuller Life
Jimmy Durbin struggled with addiction in the form of pills, pornography, and alcohol for 10 years. He has now been sober for 12 years and is a licensed clinical social worker and alcohol and drug counselor working with others to help reach sobriety.
Some major topics covered:
- a very intimate and vulnerable account of what it is like to reach the point of a suicide attempt
- the societal pressure males face to remain emotionless and "strong" and a healthier alternative to this image
- what goes through someone's head who is addicted to drugs when they are not high
- how a combination of biological and environmental factors lead to addiction
- how living a life full of love, compassion, and open-mindedness leads to personal fulfillment
