S5 Ep8: This is Powerful All-Time Top Ten Countdown

About this episode

This episode features a countdown of the top ten most powerful clips from previous episodes, focusing on addiction and recovery.

Over the past year and a half on This is Powerful , we’ve had some brutally honest conversations about addiction, recovery, resilience and about all that comes in between. These kinds of conversations aren’t usually had or heard, but they probably should be. This is a collection of the most powerful clips from our top ten episodes: voices you’ll recognise, stories you can’t forget, and reflections that land just as hard as they did the first time you heard them. You’ll hear from inspiring spirits who’ve faced life’s challenges head-on, and have come out on the other side. If you’ve been with us from the start, think of this as a chance to revisit the moments that mattered. And if you’re new here, you are about to get a crash course in what This is Powerful is all about. This is the final episode in Season five. We will take a short break then will be back with you in a few weeks with a great new season, focusing on guests who work in the building and contractor trade. 80 episodes in, our mission remains the same: to help people better understand addiction, including what they can and can’t control, through honest conversations with real people who have experienced it firsthand…
