The only thing you really have is your family and your word in this world, and that's something that I've really really tried to live by.
What happens when the party stops being fun and turns into a nightmare? In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosts Jason Wahler and Hilary Roberts sit down with Kyle Purschell, who shares his raw and unfiltered story of battling addiction. Growing up in a family riddled with addiction, Kyle seemed destined to follow the same path.
His mother left when he was young, and his father struggled with his own demons, leaving Kyle to seek solace in partying and bodyboarding. But what started as harmless fun quickly spiraled into a heroin addiction that consumed his life. Kyle paints a vivid picture of his descent into addiction, describing how heroin became his everything. He recalls a turning point while lying in bed, dope sick and desperate for change.
It was then that he reached out to a friend who had recently gotten sober—the same friend who had introduced him to heroin in the first place. This marked the beginning of Kyle's journey to sobriety. In a heartfelt conversation, Kyle discusses the pivotal role his father's own recovery played in inspiring him to seek help. He emphasizes the importance of family support and how it was crucial in his battle against addiction.
Today, Kyle lives a life filled with gratitude and is committed to helping others find their way to recovery. This episode is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of addiction and the transformative power of hope and support. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or know someone who is, Kyle's story offers a beacon of hope and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
