Imagine growing up in a home where drugs and alcohol were as common as breakfast cereal. For Joey Grant, this was reality. In this heartfelt episode of 'Talksicology', host Jason sits down with Joey, the very first client of Recovery Unplugged Nashville. Joey's story is a rollercoaster of early exposure to substance abuse, his own battles starting at the tender age of 13 with marijuana, and a rapid descent into harder drugs.
Despite his rocky start, Joey's journey is one of resilience and hope. He opens up about pivotal moments like the birth of his son and his first experience with a needle, moments that pushed him towards seeking help. But the path to sobriety was anything but smooth. Joey shares candidly about his relapses, the overwhelming shame and guilt that followed, and how he found the strength to get back on track each time.
Now, three years sober, Joey's story is a testament to the power of community support and the unwavering human spirit. This episode isn't just about addiction; it's about the courage to change and the relentless pursuit of a better life.
