Whatever pathway my life was on, it had failed.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life entangled in addiction into a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of 'Captain Hooked: The Addiction Project', Jean-Paul Michael takes us through his gripping journey from the depths of substance abuse to becoming a community case manager and harm reduction educator. After battling addiction for two decades, Jean-Paul's life hit rock bottom with multiple ICU admissions and being on a crime stoppers most wanted list.
It was during one of these low points that a case manager extended a lifeline, helping him navigate legal troubles and start anew. Today, Jean-Paul is not only a peer support specialist at St. Michael's Hospital but also an entrepreneur, having revived his greeting card company. His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of support.
Tune in to hear how Jean-Paul turned his darkest moments into a mission to help others.
