Recovery is about having fun. It's almost for some of the shit I do, it's almost pushing through the fear, which is fun for me because I live in a lot of fear with my career and doing dangerous shit and pushing through the fear sober is like a whole 'nother level, you know, and it's so much more fun just being able to do the shit that I haven't been able to do my pretty much my whole life, doing it now sober is like the sickest shit ever, you know.
Ever wondered if sobriety could be fun? Vinny’s story might just change your mind. In this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood sits down with Vinny, who once lived on the streets, addicted to heroin and other hard drugs. Vinny opens up about his journey from a 'normal' teenage life filled with weed and parties to the darker days of Percocets, Oxycontin, and heroin.
His obsession with heroin became so intense that he abandoned everything else in his life, losing himself completely to the addiction. But that’s not where his story ends. Vinny's tale is one of transformation, finding purpose, and rediscovering joy in sobriety. He shares how his childhood dream of making crazy videos like the guys on Jackass seemed out of reach until he found Alcoholics Anonymous.
It was there that he learned to let go of control, follow guidance, and embrace a life filled with gratitude and purpose. Now, Vinny rubs shoulders with Hollywood names and creates hilarious content on Instagram, all while staying sober. His journey underscores the importance of finding something to live for and cultivating gratitude as key components of maintaining sobriety and happiness.
This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new way to live that’s full of passion and fulfillment. If you’re looking for a story that mixes raw honesty with a touch of humor and a whole lot of hope, Vinny's wild ride is one you won’t want to miss.
