Here is the video to The Matburn Podcast Episode 16 that i recorded with Josh hinger a week before ADCC. I have only just got round to uploading the video now. I hope you enjoy my story.
Description:
This is a very special episode with the one and only Stuart Cooper. Stuart is a world renowned jiu-jitsu film-maker known for his exciting highlight videos and short-films which typically document the journey of influential jiu-jitsu practitioners. In this episode Stuart gives a powerful testimony about his journey with jiu-jitsu and film-making which subsequently lead to a life-threatening drug addiction. He details how he slipped into a dangerous routine of training, travel, and taking pills to help sleep while dealing with jet-lag. Routine turned into habit. Habit turned into dependency. Dependency turned into full-on addiction. Stuart talks about how he fell into a paralyzing depression after weaning himself off his pill addiction. In a desperate attempt to regain his old-life back, Stuart took a chance and sought out an ayahuasca shaman. He tells us about his experience with ayahuasca and his climb back to the life he once had. It’s an amazing story about overcoming adversity and addiction.

"If it doesn't work... Maybe you go ahead.. and proceed with your plan" lol Josh went a little dark there. All jokes aside, I have the ultimate respect for someone that can lose it all and find a way to bounce back. Hope you stay on the right path Stuart.

Tramadol and Valium does that. I basically had the same experience for 2-3 years after injury a shoulder and knee. The years go by so fast cause everything is a blur. Stuart was on the dot. Awesome podcast.
