And I was like all this stuff, my friend, and my life has unfolded exponentially.
DJ Verrett’s life took a dramatic turn from an idyllic childhood in Harbor City, CA, to a regrettable decision that landed him in prison for twenty years. In this episode of 'The Drunkalogues', hosted by Nick Morton, Verrett opens up about his tumultuous journey through addiction and the unlikely path to recovery he found behind bars. Imagine surviving prison life, battling booze and heroin, and then encountering a 70-year-old lady with a pink box who changed everything.
Her support became the catalyst for Verrett’s transformation. Now 16 years sober, he works as a clinical supervisor, helping incarcerated men prepare for life after prison. His new audiobook, 'An Inside Job', chronicles his incredible journey from childhood to sobriety. Verrett’s story is a powerful reminder of how support and resilience can lead to redemption. Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and now inspires others to do the same.
