My journey like I walked into NA, but that's not the case. NA got me in spite of myself. I didn't want to sit on that chair because then I know I'd be stuck with the reading.
What does it take to turn your life around after 35 years of addiction? In this gripping episode of 'By All Means Necessary', host Marco Morillo sits down with his good friend Greg, who shares his raw and unfiltered story of battling addiction, multiple arrests, and eventual recovery. Greg opens up about feeling different and out of place from a young age, which led him down a path of substance abuse starting with his first joint.
His addiction spiraled out of control, leading to several run-ins with the law and years spent in prison. But Greg's story takes a remarkable turn during what he describes as a 'God' moment. A simple question from a store clerk—'How are you doing?'—became the catalyst for change. This moment of clarity pushed Greg to attend meetings and open up to others in recovery.
He found a lifeline in the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous and the structure of the 12 Step Program. Throughout the episode, Greg talks candidly about his daily routine to stay clean, emphasizing the importance of community and consistent effort. His journey is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about resilience, personal growth, and finding hope even in the darkest times.
If you're seeking inspiration or support in your own battle with addiction, or if you're looking for stories that highlight the power of human resilience, this episode is a must-listen. Greg's story is a testament to the strength it takes to rebuild one's life, one day at a time.
