Derrick Broze talks to guest host Misty Winston about his memoir, A Man of My Word, which details his personal journey through addiction, drug dealing, prison, and mental health struggles—including self-harm—before his eventual recovery and entry into activism and journalism. He explains that he wrote the book because he noticed that even in "awake" and alternative communities, addiction is just as prevalent as in mainstream society, yet often spoken about in "hushed tones."
Broze critiques the 12-step disease model for not working for him and expresses interest in developing alternative recovery approaches rooted in natural law and other methods. The book covers his life from 2003 to 2011, including his father's death from a drug overdose in 2018, and aims to offer hope to those currently struggling with addiction or supporting loved ones who are.
