Habib's Fight: From Meth Addiction to Making His Mother Proud

I just wanted, I craved attention and it led to really like it led to mental health issues.
What happens when a young man, lost and craving attention, finds solace in methamphetamine? In this gripping episode of 'Straight From the Source', we meet Habib, whose journey through addiction and the criminal justice system is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Growing up with absent parents, Habib's life took a dark turn as he sought an escape from his mental health struggles. Meth provided a temporary relief but quickly led him down a path of destruction.
Multiple stints in jail and encounters with the law became his reality, but a deep-seated desire to make his mother proud kept him fighting. Supported by APSU and SHARC, Habib found the strength to turn his life around and now dedicates himself to helping others facing similar battles. This episode isn't just about one man's struggle; it's a call to challenge the stigma and stereotypes surrounding addiction. Habib's story highlights the importance of support systems and the power of redemption.
Tune in to hear his candid account and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of addiction.
