No, it's never too late, never too late, never too late... So, um, and, and you know what I did in recovery.
Imagine being addicted to heroin by the age of 14. For Ira Levy, this was his reality. Growing up in New York City, he navigated a life filled with heroin, alcohol, and pills. By the 1970s, he was even peddling Quaaludes at the infamous Studio 54. Levy’s journey through addiction was a rollercoaster, marked by multiple attempts at recovery and a constant battle with substances.
It wasn't until his sixth stint in rehab, faced with the fear of prison, that he finally committed to getting clean. Clean since 1980, Levy's story is one of transformation and resilience. Now the owner of several addiction recovery centers, including Sunrise Detox Centers, he uses his past struggles to inspire others on their path to sobriety.
This episode dives deep into Levy's life, shedding light on his early years of addiction, the pivotal moments that led to his recovery, and his ongoing mission to help others find their way out of the darkness. If you're looking for a tale of redemption and hope, Ira Levy's story is one you won't want to miss.
