Dustin's Journey: From Misunderstood Kid to Self-Aware Adult
No one else should love the skin I'm in than me
Imagine growing up feeling misunderstood and out of place, only to find yourself addicted and living on the streets. That's Dustin's story. Raised in Missouri, Dustin always felt like the odd one out. His life took a dark turn as he fell into the grip of opiate addiction, eventually finding himself alone but strangely content on the streets of Orange County, California. But his story doesn't end there.
In this episode of 'One Day I Decided', hosted by Omanda Patricia, Dustin opens up about his transformative journey towards recovery. He shares how a chance encounter with an AA meeting and the simple phrase 'just keep coming back' changed his outlook on life. Always a writer and thinker, Dustin talks about how stepping out of his comfort zone was crucial for his recovery. He discusses the importance of self-awareness, vulnerability, and finding a higher power in overcoming addiction.
If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Dustin's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and you are not alone.
