Breaking the Chains of Hidden Addictions, EP 40

Addiction, Shame, and Redemption:

A Conversation with Logan Hufford In this episode of The Derelict Podcast, I connect with Logan Hufford—an Alaskan adventurer, husband, father, and someone who has fought a life-long battle with addiction. Logan’s story is raw, honest, and incredibly powerful. We dive deep into what addiction truly looks like beyond the clichés and stereotypes.

Logan opens up about his struggle with sex addiction and how it pushed him to the brink—threatening his family, his happiness, and his self-worth. We explore not just the outward challenges but the inner battles of shame and the path toward redemption. From his experiences in the wild Alaskan landscapes to the journey of healing and rebuilding his life, Logan’s story offers a perspective that many need to hear.

If you or someone you know is dealing with similar struggles, or if you just want to understand the hidden battles people face, this episode is for you. Join us for a conversation about pain, resilience, and the hope that comes with redemption.

Key Takeaway:

- Hidden Addictions: Many addictions are subtle and socially acceptable, masking deeper struggles.

- Shame’s Grip: Shame fuels addiction, creating a difficult cycle to escape.

- Coping vs. Addiction: Recognizing when coping turns destructive is essential for change.

- Hope and Healing: Transformation is possible with self-awareness and support.
