I had a fantasy of wanting a beer and tacos, and then when I paroled from Vegas, I paroled out here. I moved in with my dad in recovery, and his rule was no drinking. So I didn't drink. Now I'm doing life on life's terms. And I don't have my coping mechanism to deal with me.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? In this gripping episode of 'The Terminally Unique Podcast', hosts Dean Wright and Diva Arias sit down with Mike M, who shares his incredible journey from the depths of addiction to a life of sobriety. Mike's story is not just about the lows—like starting substance use in sixth grade and facing multiple stints in prison—but also about the highs of finding hope and resilience.
He opens up about pushing away everyone and everything that got in the way of his use, until he reached a breaking point. That moment of surrender has since led to transformative changes in his life.

Mike's unwavering determination to change his life shines through every word, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking insight or encouragement on their own recovery journey. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that underscores the power of choice and the possibility of redemption.
