Peter's Path: From Alcoholism and Homelessness to Purpose

The thing that annoys me about a lot of people is: a lot of people think that addiction is a choice, whereas I think that addiction is the unintended consequence of a choice.
Peter's life has been a rollercoaster, marked by long-term alcoholism, homelessness, and even time in prison. But in this episode of 'Straight From The Source', he opens up about how he found a new sense of purpose through The Big Issue Newspaper program. This isn't just a tale of struggle; it's one of resilience and transformation.
Peter's candid reflections offer a raw look at the unintended consequences of addiction and the vital role that community support and advocacy play in recovery. Through his story, listeners gain insight into the harsh realities faced by many and the importance of initiatives like The Big Issue in helping individuals rebuild their lives. 'Straight From The Source' continues to challenge stereotypes and encourage empathy by sharing these unfiltered, real-life stories.
If you're seeking an honest discussion about addiction, recovery, and the power of community, this episode is a must-listen.
