I accept a hundred percent responsibility for everything that's happened to me. It was a great opportunity for me and that's how I saw it.
Imagine starting your journey with smoking pot at just 12 years old and spiraling into a life of hardcore drug use by 17. That's the rough beginning Mark Owens faced. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Mark opens up about his tumultuous path from addiction and homelessness to becoming a thriving real estate investor. His story is a rollercoaster of arrests, prison time, and ultimately, redemption.
Mark's life hit a low when he was imprisoned for bank robbery and other crimes, spending nearly five years behind bars. It was during this time in solitary confinement that he had a moment of clarity and realized he needed to change. After his release, Mark didn't have it easy. He started mucking stalls at a horse farm, gradually working his way up to security work at horse shows.
His journey wasn't just about finding a job but also about transforming his mindset. He had to confront and change the negative thought patterns that had fueled his addiction. Today, Mark is a successful real estate investor in Baltimore, attributing his turnaround to taking responsibility for his actions and embracing alternative recovery methods. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far you've fallen, it's possible to climb back up.
Tune in to hear Mark's candid account of his struggles and triumphs, and discover how perseverance and self-improvement can lead to a life you never thought possible.
