John's Battle: From Feeling Invincible to Finding Sobriety

Watching these people get better A Day at a time was really valuable in my life and reminded me that I'm getting better because I'm watching it before my eyes.
Ever wondered how someone goes from casual marijuana use to feeling invincible on crack-cocaine? Meet John. His story begins with harmless pot-smoking sessions with friends, but it quickly spirals into dealing drugs and experimenting with cocaine and hallucinogenic pills. Crack-cocaine soon became his drug of choice, giving him a false sense of being 'bulletproof'. As addiction took over, John found jobs that accommodated his need to get high, making his substance abuse a full-time occupation.
But every high has its low, and John's came crashing down when he hit rock bottom. That's when he realized he needed help. Through the support of 12-step programs and a newfound spirituality, John clawed his way back to sobriety. His journey highlights the dark allure of addiction and the immense value of seeking help. Tune in to hear John's compelling tale of struggle, recovery, and the relentless fight to reclaim his life.
