Tate Sams: Rediscovering Life Beyond Addiction

I'm a husband, a father, entrepreneur, a handyman and a student of life. Whenever I get asked to speak a lot around the Atlanta area, different programs and different meetings- and I always start off by saying on paper: there's no reason why I should be a drug addict...
Imagine feeling like you never quite belong, despite having everything on paper that suggests you should. Tate Sams, from Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery, opens up about his battle with addiction and the emotional hurdles that came with it. In this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast, Tate dives deep into feelings of inadequacy, the pain of losing friends to addiction, and the critical need to find balance in life.
He shares his personal journey through multiple relocations and how each move shaped his path to recovery. You'll hear about the pivotal moments that led him to seek professional help and the importance of sober living and strong friendships. Tate’s story is a raw, honest portrayal of struggle and triumph, offering hope and practical advice for anyone facing similar challenges.
Tune in to hear how he found meaning by helping others and why sharing your story can be a powerful tool in recovery.
