I didn't realize how important it was, because I always thought it was an out of appearance thing, like fly kicks, fresh outfit.
Imagine being trapped in a cycle of addiction that pushes away your closest friends and lands you in prison. In this episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', host Jim Rachels sits down with Phelis C., who candidly shares his tumultuous journey through addiction and his road to recovery. Phelis opens up about the heart-wrenching choices he made that hurt those around him and the pivotal moments that led him to seek a better life.

Phelis dives deep into how his addiction affected his personal relationships, revealing the painful process of pushing away those who cared about him the most. He talks about the harsh reality of prison and how it became a turning point for him. This episode sheds light on the importance of self-love, a concept Phelis initially misunderstood.
He thought self-love was about external validation—having the latest fashion or sneakers—but he eventually learned it comes from within. Relapse is another significant theme in Phelis's story. He discusses the challenges of staying clean after prison and how he often set himself up for relapse. However, through faith and a newfound sense of self-worth, he managed to break the cycle and maintain his sobriety.
Phelis's journey is a testament to the power of faith and determination in overcoming life's toughest challenges. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Phelis's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. His experiences highlight the crucial role of faith, self-love, and support systems in the recovery process. Tune in to hear a raw, honest account of what it takes to reclaim your life from the grips of addiction.
