Ever wondered how a person can turn their life around from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others?

They also discuss the pervasive nature of drug use in society and the critical need for accessible resources to aid those struggling with addiction.
One of the standout moments in this episode is James's candid discussion about the physical and emotional hurdles of withdrawal. He shares how these challenges tested his resolve but ultimately led him to a place of renewed purpose. The conversation underscores the power of giving back, as James emphasizes how supporting others in their recovery journeys has been a cornerstone of his own healing process.
