Dru Wood's Path: From Teen Heroin Addiction to Early Sobriety

There's hope with heroin addiction, there's hope with all these different things. You know, I know a lot of people that are sober, but they're miserable because they haven't worked on the stuff right, the underlying stuff.
What happens when a teenager's life spirals into heroin addiction? Cade Cooper sits down with Dru Wood to uncover the gritty details of her journey from addiction at just 15 years old to finding sobriety by 17. In this episode, Dru opens up about the tumultuous early years that led her down this dark path. Her parents' separation and her father's incarceration created a chaotic environment, leading Dru to seek solace in drugs.
Her story is a raw and honest portrayal of how quickly addiction can take hold and the immense struggle to break free. But it's also a story of hope.

This episode is a must-listen for young people grappling with addiction and for anyone who knows a young person in a similar battle. Cade and Dru's conversation is filled with insights and encouragement, emphasizing that recovery is possible and that seeking help is a courageous first step. Tune in to hear Dru's inspiring journey and learn how addressing the root causes of addiction can lead to lasting sobriety.
