I thought I was fooling the world, but the only person I was fooling was myself.
Taylor Armagnatic's journey from addiction to recovery is nothing short of remarkable. Growing up in a household where substance use was the norm, Taylor's early years were filled with chaos and instability. By the age of 14, he was kicked out of his grandparents' house and found himself homeless, mimicking the destructive behaviours he had witnessed throughout his childhood.
His story is a raw and honest account of hitting rock bottom, losing his father to addiction, and the harsh realities that come with living in a crack house. Taylor's transformation began when he realised that he wasn't fooling anyone but himself and that he needed to make a change. Through multiple attempts at treatment and the support of recovery meetings, he found the strength to embrace a sober life.
Today, Taylor is not only clean but also helps others by running a sober home. His experiences serve as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how deep one has fallen. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and inspiration in their own recovery journey.
