Blake's story is a raw and powerful testament to the struggles and triumphs of addiction recovery. At just 12 years old, Blake found solace in alcohol, setting off a chain of substance abuse that would dominate his teenage years. By 14, alcohol was a constant companion, and by 16, drugs like weed, coke, pills, and mushrooms had entered the picture. The rapid progression of his addiction painted a bleak picture of his early life.
But things took a turn when Blake realized that while his peers were moving forward, he was stuck in a cycle of substance abuse. This realization was the catalyst for change. In this episode of 'Remember Your Why,' Blake opens up to host Kristen about his journey to sobriety and the pivotal moments that led him there.

He shares how his support system has been crucial in maintaining his sobriety and how staying connected to his purpose has transformed his life.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, reminding us all that it's never too late to seek help and find your path to recovery.
