Addiction Uncovered

Hurrdat ONE

I'm Jill, a Licensed mental health and addiction counselor, and a sober mom of 2 teens. With over 15 years of experience in behavioral health, I've listened to countless stories from those grappling with addiction and pursuing recovery. These stories inspired me to establish a space where people can share their experiences, bringing hope to those currently facing addiction. We’ll talk about what it's like being sober, how to access support, how to fight stigma, and ways to support loved ones in their struggle.

    From Badge to Breakthrough: A First Responder’s Journey Through Addiction & PTSD

    In this powerful episode of Addiction Uncovered, host Jill Nastase sits down with Davin Cole, a retired law enforcement officer, to discuss addiction and recovery within the first responder community. Davin shares how a line-of-duty injury led to long-term opioid use, how PTSD quietly shaped his addiction, and why asking for help can feel impossible for those trained to protect others. This conversation sheds light on stigma, trauma exposure, and the cultural barriers that prevent first responders from seeking support — and what recovery can truly look like on the other side. If you or someone you love works in emergency services, this episode is essential listening.

    Healing Behind Bars: Paul’s Path from Addiction to Harm Reduction Advocate

    What does healing look like when you begin from rock bottom? In this episode of Addiction Uncovered, Paul Weishapl shares how addiction consumed most of his adult life — and how prison unexpectedly became the place where he found sobriety, mindfulness, purpose, and a sense of identity beyond his past. Today, Paul teaches harm reduction strategies and compassion-centered care for people who use drugs. His story is a rare and powerful look at hope inside and outside the prison system.
