So you know it's like an internship through the church and you know you do ministry and it's for people that have an interest in... You know, like my life was saved and it was like I still was not in a position to accept recovery. And now it's like you know what, if you don't want me to leave by myself or take a car, or you want to come with me wherever I need to go, and that makes you feel better for what I put you through. Yeah, me too, you know, overdosing that they had to bring me to the hospital.
What happens when the glitz and glam of fame collide with the harsh reality of addiction? In this episode of Recovcast, listeners are introduced to Joey, also known as 'Mr. Donuts'. Hailing from the tough streets of New York, Joey’s tale is anything but ordinary. Once entangled in the rap scene with G-Unit, his life took a sharp turn as addiction slowly tightened its grip on him.
The episode takes you through Joey’s rollercoaster journey - from his days of slangin' mixtapes out of his car trunk to hitting rock bottom and ultimately finding a way out through faith and community support. Joey opens up about the strain addiction put on his relationships and the uphill battle he faced to reclaim his life. His story is raw and unfiltered, touching on the power of forgiveness and self-compassion as crucial steps towards healing.
For anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Joey's experiences offer a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is possible with the right support system. Tune in to hear how Joey transformed his life and now inspires others to do the same.
