This program taught me how to hold myself accountable... That's why I like Odyssey House, because the staff members have been through addiction, you know, right, it's just easier for me to listen to somebody that's been there, you know, than somebody that hasn't.
Imagine being just 12 years old and handed opioid pills by someone you trusted. That was the start of Rocky Hancock's long and harrowing journey with addiction. For 17 years, Rocky was ensnared in a cycle of substance abuse that began with opioids and escalated to heroin. But today, Rocky is 21 months clean, thanks to the support and structure he found at Odyssey House.
In this gripping episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', Rocky opens up about the pivotal moment that pushed him to seek help. He shares how the staff, many of whom have their own recovery stories, played a crucial role in his journey. Rocky talks candidly about the impact of addiction on his relationships and the immense challenges of staying sober. He also highlights the joy and fulfillment he now finds in a life free from drugs.
This episode offers a raw and real look into the struggles and triumphs of recovery, providing hope and encouragement for anyone touched by addiction.
