RRP 121 — Devlin F / Burying Bradley: Dropping the Shovel on Addiction, One Day at a TimePresenters: Julie P. Lewis and Peter B. DowellEpisode Length: 1 hour 41 minutesRelease Date: July 3, 2026Devlin F.'s addiction began at six years old when his father gave him a sip of beer while he was choking. What followed was decades of trauma, meth use, street survival in San Francisco's Tenderloin, and a quarter-million-dollar inheritance that nearly killed him. After years of IV drug use and a moment in August 2023 when he saw only two choices — “find a new way to live or jump off a bridge” — Devlin walked into Another Chance. Today he works there as a certified recovery mentor, sponsors others, and has done something remarkable: he gave his addiction a name and buried it. Julie opens up about why she was genuinely scared of him during his active addiction — and why watching his transformation has been one of the greatest gifts of her own recovery.Key Points00:04 Fred Meyer Community Rewards and Bottle Drop — two easy ways to support the podcast without spending extra00:08 Julie refused Devlin a hug during active addiction — she was genuinely scared he wouldn't survive00:12 First sip of beer at age six from his alcoholic father; first drink and marijuana at 14 after witnessing domestic violence between his parents00:15 Childhood trauma: sexual abuse at age 4 by a family member, massive stroke at age 1000:27 First hit of meth at 24 — instantly hooked after burning out from 150-hour workweeks as a caregiver00:29 Life on the streets of San Francisco's Tenderloin — 11-day benders and a system built around the drug00:33 Father died from alcoholism on January 5, 2015 — Devlin didn't make it in time to say goodbye00:35 A quarter-million-dollar inheritance fueled four years in Mill City and even deeper addiction00:37 IV drug use — “the final frontier” — and suicidal despair in August 202300:38 Entered treatment September 23, 2023; Jessica Anderson gave him “the first taste of compassion in a long time”00:42 Extended Family meeting — Colette told him “You're gonna be back here tomorrow” — and he came back00:59 April 28, 2024 — sober date begins. “I had another relapse in me.
