If you want to get out, there's a way out for everyone.
Jordan Barnes' story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Battling alcoholism and heroin addiction, Jordan found himself homeless and at rock bottom. Fast forward over a decade, and he's now a best-selling author and advocate for harm reduction programs. In this episode of 'Henry's Uncle', Jordan opens up about his tumultuous journey with raw honesty. He shares how he navigated the treacherous waters of addiction and what it took to find his way to long-term recovery.
Jordan also delves into the transformative power of writing, which became a crucial part of his healing process. His books, 'One Hit Away: A Memoir of Recovery' and 'Bridgetown: A Harm Reduction Novel', offer insights into his personal battles and broader social issues related to addiction. For anyone grappling with substance use or supporting someone who is, Jordan's story provides a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is possible.
