I wasn't the business side of it, I wasn't too well of what it was, but it's been tiring, getting a network with all the insurances and learning the ins and outs of the treatment world.
Picture a 12-year-old boy in Springfield, Illinois, starting down a path no child should ever take. That boy is Michael, and his story is a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the dark world of addiction and the bright light of recovery. By high school, Michael was using heroin daily, spiraling into a life that led him to rock bottom in his grandmother's basement. But that's not where his story ends.
On June 12, 2008, Michael made the life-changing decision to get sober. His journey since then has been one of grit, determination, and a lot of heart. He opens up about the toll his addiction took on his family, especially his relationship with his sister. Michael's candid reflections on recognizing his own addiction and the steps he took towards recovery are both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
He emphasizes the crucial role of family support and therapy in his journey back to health. Michael’s message is clear: no matter how deep the hole you’re in, there’s always a way out. His story is a beacon for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Michael's powerful testimony on Recovery Rockstars UNCUT and find hope in his words.
