Greg's Story: From Horrific Choices to Hope in Recovery

We didn't know what else to do and we weren't going to bring her to a hospital. She had been dead, sitting there for like an hour, waiting for the sun to go down, not sitting but laying, and it was blue, and it was just bad.
What happens when drug addiction spirals out of control? In this gripping episode of 'By All Means Necessary', Marco Morillo sits down with his good friend Greg to unravel a harrowing tale that serves as a stark reminder of the perils of substance abuse. Greg shares his raw and unfiltered story, starting with a chance encounter at a clinic that led to a month-long drug binge with a girl they met there.
As the days blurred into nights, their reckless decisions reached a horrifying climax when the girl overdosed and turned blue. With no Narcan and no idea what to do, panic set in. They made the unthinkable choice to wrap her in a rug and leave her in a dumpster, believing she was dead. But when they checked later, she was still alive, albeit barely hanging on.
This shocking experience left an indelible mark on Greg, who now uses his story to highlight the dangers of addiction and the catastrophic decisions it can lead to. Through tears and laughter, Greg recounts his journey from that dark place to where he is today—clean and committed to helping others avoid the same fate. This episode is a gut-wrenching yet hopeful look at the transformative power of recovery.
Marco's empathetic interviewing style brings out the humanity in Greg's story, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a sobering yet inspiring message: there's always hope, even in the darkest moments.
