It might've started out really fun in the beginning and really kind of exciting, but sooner rather than later it just brought in me particularly to a very lonely place, and the program was good for that because it gave me a sense of camaraderie with my fellows.
Ever thought about how a successful career can be derailed by addiction? John had it all as a senior editor in New York City, but crystal meth turned his life upside down. Feeling like he missed out on youthful adventures, John began experimenting with drugs later in life. What started as a mid-life crisis quickly spiraled into a full-blown addiction.
His days were consumed by the hunt for his next high, leading him to burn through his savings and retirement funds. Work took a backseat as securing money and drugs became his daily focus. John's story is a raw account of how addiction can grip anyone, regardless of their age or success. He opens up about the dangerous, drug-fueled lifestyle he led and the moments that pushed him to seek help.
Through his journey, you'll hear about the vital role of support programs and the camaraderie he found in recovery groups. This episode isn't just about the darkness of addiction; it's about the hope and transformation that come with recovery. Tune in to understand how John reclaimed his life from the clutches of crystal meth.
