Being accountable, being open-minded, because I'm very opinionated about a lot of things. And I'm actually listening to other people's opinions.
Imagine being a teenager and feeling like the world is against you. That's where Modesto found himself when he came out as gay at 15, a moment he humorously describes as 'opening his mouth and rainbows fell out'. Sent from Utah to live with his lesbian grandmother in California, his life took a dark turn as he fell into meth addiction. What followed was a spiral into crime, jail, and prison.
But this isn't just a story of descent; it's one of incredible resilience and redemption. In this episode of Odyssey House Journals, Randall Carlisle and Nicole Slack sit down with Modesto to discuss his turbulent past and the long road to recovery. Modesto opens up about the challenges he faced, including his battles with addiction and the criminal activities that landed him behind bars multiple times. Yet, through all the darkness, he found a glimmer of hope at Odyssey House.
His journey is a testament to the power of connection, accountability, and staying true to oneself. Modesto's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding oneself amidst the chaos and learning to grow from it. This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at the highs and lows of recovery, offering valuable insights for anyone touched by addiction or seeking inspiration on their own path to healing.
