Paul Alexander: From Rock Bottom to Leading the Way in Recovery
For people that are stuck in addiction, they just have no idea how good life can be.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of addiction to leading a successful treatment center? In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Paul Alexander, the founder and CEO of Northbound Treatment Services. Paul takes us through his journey, starting from his teenage years when he first experimented with alcohol and quickly fell in love with its effects.
His curiosity led him down a darker path, experimenting with harder substances in college, eventually becoming addicted to heroin. He paints a vivid picture of his life spiraling out of control—bouncing from one seedy place to another and doing whatever it took to get his next fix. But this isn't just a story of despair. Paul shares the pivotal moment that made him realize he needed help, and the steps he took to climb out of the abyss.
Today, he's not just sober but thriving, helping others find their way out of addiction through his work at Northbound Treatment Services. This episode is a raw and inspiring look at how low one can go, and how high they can rise with the right support and determination.
