Edward James

Creative Guy

I refuse to write this in the third person, so here it is right from my hands and onto this website.

I’m a recovered addict and creator of The Withdrawal concept. You can reach out to me at any time and I or someone close to me will respond.

My background is filled with high highs and low lows. As a child, I felt like a misfit and found it very difficult to understand who I was and what I was supposed to do in life.

I did get lucky and began a career as a technologist working for IBM in my mid-twenties. After twenty years, I’d worked for some of the largest corporations in the world in some of the most advanced datacenters.

There was just one problem…I’m an addict and I was taking over six hundred milligrams of opiates daily to simply maintain. I wasn’t even getting high anymore. I was chasing something that didn’t exist.

Through the love of my amazing wife and two incredible daughters, I found the inspiration and strength to get sober and taught my mind how to stay that way.

I’ve lost my career path but gained something much more valuable. I don’t make a huge salary, but I do know how to help others…especially my fellow addicts that I so care about. This website, The Withdrawal Podcast, which can be found on all major podcast sites, and the Facebook page at FACEBOOK.COM/THEWITHDRAWAL are all resources by which I will educate and inform in order to help and heal.

Please support our efforts and follow us on all of our landing places on the internet. I’m also available for all AA/NA meetings, both remote and live as well as meeting addicts and speaking to them whether they are in rehab, prisons, churches, or anywhere else where they can hear me.

Thank you for your support.

Please give us a bit of time as we build and provide all the resources that we believe will provide the most support.

The Withdrawal is in its infancy and your help in recommending resources goes a long way as well.

Please email us at [email protected] to provide us with links, contacts, and any other resources that will help us help our fellow addicts.

Remember, we will never be successful without you.
