Reflecting back, I mean today there's still pain. You know you could be having a great life and still, you know, have something that's just not in sync and cause you to go on this wild, wild ride to the world of self-destruction.
Imagine growing up in a household where drugs are as common as breakfast cereal. That's Fred's reality. His first encounter with alcohol happened at the tender age of ten, during a party where his parents toasted him with Sangria. The warmth he felt from that drink was just the beginning of a long and tumultuous relationship with substances. Fred's father wasn't just any dad; he was a drug dealer, and this set the stage for Fred's own struggles with addiction.
In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Fred opens up about his chaotic upbringing, the criminal activities that followed, and his battle with crack cocaine. But it's not all doom and gloom. Fred's story takes a turn for the better when he finds solace in 12-step programs and learns to deal with pain without resorting to drugs.
This episode dives deep into the impact of addiction on family life and relationships, offering a raw and honest look at what it takes to break free from the cycle of substance abuse. If you're looking for a story that combines the harsh realities of addiction with the hope of recovery, Fred's journey is one you won't want to miss.
