Malek Vossough: From Skid Row to Sobriety and Service
I understood that some people you just have to kind of accept that they're not, they're sick. That was really the major turning point and moment of clarity for me.
Picture this: a young boy with a passion for music, but life takes a sharp turn when he tries to fit in with the 'cool' crowd. Malek Vossough's story is one of highs and lows, from the streets of skid row in Los Angeles to a life dedicated to helping others. In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', Malek sits down with hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler to share his incredible journey of recovery.
Raised by a single mother, Malek found himself lost in the world of addiction during high school. Smoking and drinking became his way to connect, but it led him down a dark path. By 18, he and his mother were homeless, and he discovered his father's own struggles with addiction. Realizing his life was spiraling out of control, Malek hit rock bottom and had a moment of clarity.
With the help of kind strangers and a newfound discipline, he turned his life around. Today, Malek finds joy in helping others achieve sobriety through organizations like Urban Voices Project. His story is not just about personal redemption but also about giving back to the community. Tune in to hear how Malek's journey can inspire you or someone you know to take that first step towards recovery.
