From Athlete to Advocate: Jeffrey Brown's Battle with Addiction
I just hope that somebody watching can understand, can relate and know that it's possible, because anybody that knows me knows when I was in active addiction I was just as bad as the worst, or maybe even worse.
Jeffrey Brown once had dreams of being a pro athlete, but life had other plans. In this gripping episode of '1 Attest 2 Another', Jeffrey sits down with Brittney Stanley to share his rollercoaster journey through addiction and recovery. It all started in high school, where selling weed quickly spiraled into trading for pain pills. Jeffrey's rock bottom came when he lost his financial aid and the chance to earn a college degree, all because of his addiction.

While incarcerated, Jeffrey joined a drug program that became a lifeline. Today, he's not just sober but also helping others navigate their own recovery journeys. His message is clear: find someone to talk to and never stop pushing towards recovery.
This episode offers a raw and honest look at the highs and lows of addiction, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by this struggle.
