The work that the program gives you, which you would maybe get in a rehab center, but really I didn't go to a treatment center.
Imagine being just 13 years old and already on a path that leads to nearly 25 years behind bars. This is the reality Dan Sanfellipo faced, and in this gripping episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', he opens up about his tumultuous journey. Dan’s story begins with a troubled childhood marked by trauma and a desperate need to escape through drugs and alcohol.
His addiction spiraled into violence, ultimately resulting in a long prison sentence in the racially divided California prison system. The rawness of Dan’s experiences is palpable as he recounts surviving extreme violence and the harsh realities of prison life. But this episode isn't just about the darkness; it's also about finding light. Dan shares how transcendental meditation became his lifeline, guiding him towards sobriety and a new purpose.
Now, eight years sober, Dan is a testament to the power of resilience and recovery. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Dan's story offers a powerful reminder that change is possible, no matter how dire the circumstances.
