I got to that point finally, where I went to the first meeting and I sat.
What happens when a child's curiosity turns into a lifelong struggle with addiction? In this gripping episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', host Randall Carlisle sits down with Allen Maxwell, whose journey with substances began at the tender age of 10. Allen's early experiments with sniffing glue and sneaking whiskey soon spiraled into a full-blown addiction that lasted 16 years.
Living in Park City, Utah, Allen found himself deeply entrenched in the drug culture, even selling drugs to fuel his own habits. But the story doesn't end there. When his relationship hit rock bottom, Allen's partner pushed him towards treatment, a move that would change his life forever. Initially in denial about the extent of his addiction, Allen eventually embraced the path to recovery. Now in long-term sobriety, he reflects on the transformation that has brought him happiness and fulfillment.
This episode is a raw and unfiltered look at the challenges and triumphs of overcoming addiction, offering hope and inspiration to anyone touched by similar struggles.
