I'm not a drug dealer, I'm just trying to support my habit.
Christian Cronin's story is anything but ordinary. Picture a successful marketing professional who, after a tough divorce in his 30s, finds himself entangled in a web of addiction. In this compelling episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', hosted by the seasoned Randall Carlisle, Christian opens up about his journey from substance use to sobriety. His tale begins with a relationship with a heroin addict, leading him down a path of opioid, alcohol, and meth addiction.
To fund his habit, Christian spent a decade managing escorts, a stark contrast to his previous life in marketing. This episode doesn’t shy away from the gritty details—homelessness, incarceration, and the relentless grip of addiction are all part of Christian's narrative. But what makes his story truly remarkable is his turnaround. Today, Christian is dedicated to helping others navigate their own recovery journeys.
He discusses the vital role of harm reduction and mental health programs in his recovery and emphasizes the importance of support systems. If you're looking for a raw, unfiltered look at the realities of addiction and the power of redemption, this episode is a must-listen.
