The life I get to lead right now- and, like I said, I never dreamed I'd have it- I get the goosebumps.
Imagine losing your partner, mother, and best friend all within three years. That's the reality John faced, introduced to crystal meth by his boyfriend, only to watch his life spiral through addiction and profound loss. In this episode of Proud Voices, co-hosts Kaylee Hoaby and Luke Miller sit down with John to unpack his incredible journey from the depths of despair to a place of hope, self-love, and community service.
John’s sobriety date, August 13, 2017, marks a turning point where he chose to rebuild his life. Now newly married and working a job he loves, John dedicates himself to supporting charities close to his heart. His story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding joy amidst the pain and giving back to make a difference.
