I don't want to paint a picture that drugs are by any means nice or a good thing to do, or anything like that. Yeah, absolutely, to wallow too much on the negativity, because I try and be positive about it and I think- and I don't particularly like doing this, but when you compare yourself with a lot of people that I've journeyed through drugs with, I didn't suffer too much.
Ever wondered what it's like to go from the depths of heroin addiction to a life of recovery and purpose? In this episode of the 'Believe in People Podcast', host Matt Butler sits down with Pete, who shares his raw and unfiltered story. Pete opens up about his struggle with heroin, the drug culture he was immersed in, and how he turned his life around.
They discuss everything from the modern history of addiction and the glamorization of 'heroin chic' to the gritty realities of withdrawal and the impact of losing a parent. Pete's candidness is both sobering and inspiring as he talks about how his experiences have led him to help others in similar situations. If you're curious about the real-life challenges and triumphs of overcoming addiction, this episode offers a heartfelt and honest perspective.
