Breaking Free: Edward L. on Opioid Addiction, MAT, and Recovery

"16 years on meds. A withdrawal hell. The surrender that saved him."

On this raw and riveting episode of The Cup of Joe Show, Edward L. pulls back the curtain on 16 years of medication-assisted treatment and his hard-won two years clean. From the soul-crushing grief of losing his father as a teen to the relentless “bedevilments” that nearly broke him, Edward faced a withdrawal so brutal it redefined his limits—revealing the stark line between detox and true recovery. It wasn’t until a surprising moment of surrender (spoiler: not to Scott) that he clawed his way to real freedom. His story is unfiltered, unflinching, and a masterclass in resilience—a must-hear for anyone in the fight, supporting a warrior, or hooked on tales of triumph over torment.
