Being responsible when we're in our addiction too. I'm learning how to be different in a lot of good ways.
Imagine starting life in a world where crystal meth and gang violence are the norm. That's the reality Tommy faced growing up in Hayward, San Francisco Bay. By the age of 13, he was already deep into drug use and gang life. This episode of 'Stories of Addiction' takes you through Tommy's gripping journey from the dark streets to a prison cell and, ultimately, to a life of recovery and hope.
Host Paul Noddings sits down with Tommy, who candidly shares his story of how he fell into addiction and crime. But it’s not all doom and gloom; Tommy’s tale is one of transformation. Prison became his unexpected sanctuary, a place where he began to see the possibility of a different life. With the help of mentors, support groups, and a year-long outpatient program, Tommy started to rebuild himself.
He offers heartfelt advice for anyone looking to change their path, proving that no matter how deep you’re in, there’s always a way out. If you're seeking a story that highlights the power of personal choice and support in overcoming addiction, Tommy's journey is a must-listen.
