Not that I didn't dibble and dabble before that, but that was when it all you know, became the progression. And that's what this disease is- is the progression.
What happens when childhood struggles lead you down a path of addiction? Harry’s story on Steppin' Out Radio paints a vivid picture. Growing up, Harry faced verbal abuse and low self-esteem, which pushed him towards alcohol and drugs at an early age. At just 12, he had his first taste of sacramental wine, and soon after, he was experimenting with marijuana.
Unlike many who find social liberation in intoxication, Harry retreated further into himself, using substances as an escape from his troubled home life. As the Hippie era blossomed, so did Harry's involvement with drugs. He not only used but also dealt marijuana and hallucinogens, embracing the counterculture lifestyle. The end of the '60s saw him transition to more dangerous substances like cocaine and heroin, leading him into a spiral that lasted 16 years and eventually landed him in prison.
But Harry’s story doesn’t end there. He found a lifeline in Narcotics Anonymous, discovering the power of community and support. His journey from addiction to recovery is a testament to the transformative impact of finding the right help at the right time. This episode offers a raw look at the realities of addiction and the hope that lies in recovery.
It’s perfect for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of substance abuse or looking for inspiration in their own recovery journey.
