Bobby Ludeman: A Story of Addiction, Fatherhood, and Recovery
Be of service, go, go, go, help somebody...when we are helping our fellow humans is what we're kind of more or less designed to do.
Ever felt like you just didn't belong? That's how Bobby Ludeman felt growing up. In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Bobby, the owner of Lakewood Recovery in Dallas, Texas, to talk about his rollercoaster journey through addiction and recovery. Bobby opens up about his early struggles with drugs and alcohol, which eventually led him down a dark path to heroin addiction.
