Mick is joined by legendary club DJ Brandon Block on episode 291 of Mental Health Monday.
Brandon shares his story of addiction, and how he used SMART recovery to find the tools to move on with his life in a safe way.
Brandon struggled with cocaine use, alongside anxiety and imposter syndrome at the height of his fame.
Combined with Hepatitis C and Tuberculosis, he lost half a lung and doctors gave him two weeks to live unless he changed his lifestyle.
