I pray to help my higher powers stay clean...There's fun things you can do in recovery.
Mike's life story is a gripping tale of addiction, loss, and ultimately, redemption. In this episode of 'One Day at a Time: In Recovery in Baltimore', Theo Hill sits down with Mike to uncover the depths of his struggles and the heights of his recovery. Growing up near Washington D.C., Mike's descent into drug abuse began in his youth, and the US cocaine epidemic only worsened his situation.
He lost everything—his job, marriage, home, and children—and found himself on the streets of Baltimore. But hitting rock bottom was the catalyst for change. Mike sought help and embarked on a long road to recovery that has kept him clean for 31 years. Through the 12-step program and unwavering community support, Mike tackled the issues fueling his addiction. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with the right support and determination.
As Mike puts it, 'There are fun things you can do in recovery'. Tune in to hear about the resilience and hope that define Mike's journey.
