Breaking The Silence: 20 Years Of Addiction And Suicide Loss

Today, I sit down with Damien Bloss, a man who battled addiction for over 20 years before finding freedom through recovery. We dive into the root of his struggle—losing a close family member to suicide and the decades of guilt and emotional suppression that followed. Mr. Bloss opens up about how this trauma went unspoken for decades, only finally revealing it through the release of his 2024 book Breaking the Silence.

Mr. Bloss and I explore the dangerous turning points of addiction, including multiple DUIs, jail time, and drinking on the job. He walks us through the reality of being a functioning addict—someone who hadn't lost everything but was on the brink. His story reveals how difficult it is to determine when someone needs help, especially when dark humor masks real suicidal thoughts. We also discuss how rock bottom isn’t the same for everyone, and how therapy, faith, and accountability played crucial roles in his recovery.

Now five years sober, Mr. Bloss mentors inmates, runs support groups, and speaks out to help others break free. His book isn’t just for addicts—it’s for loved ones trying to understand what’s going on behind closed doors. If you or someone you love is battling addiction, this episode is a powerful reminder: it’s never too late to seek help, and no one should have to suffer in silence.
