Imagine spending two decades ensnared in the vicious cycle of addiction, only to rise above it and dedicate your life to helping others do the same. That’s the remarkable journey of Frank Campos, a United States Army Veteran who shares his story on this episode of 'The Empty Chair'. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Lawrence, MA, Frank's life took a dark turn with substance abuse that began in his teens and escalated to cocaine and heroin use.
His addiction led him through a harrowing path of jail time, job loss, and family estrangement. But Frank's story is not just about hitting rock bottom; it's about finding the strength to climb back up. Through the grace of God and the unwavering support of his community, Frank transformed his life. Now, he serves as a Pastor at Community Christian Fellowship church in Haverhill, MA, dedicating his life to helping others find their way out of addiction.
In this heartfelt episode, Frank opens up about the impact of addiction on families and the stigma that surrounds it. He stresses the importance of community support and faith in the recovery process, offering invaluable insights into the future of addiction recovery. Frank's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the darkness, there's always a glimmer of hope.
