Literally the only thing that I think that I've done right, uh, since I've been clean, is I've never changed my mind about um not being able to use success.
Ever wondered how someone can transform their life after hitting rock bottom? This episode of 'Not Your Average IV User' with Max Liles introduces us to Matt Whisman, a man who has journeyed from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope and resilience. The opioid crisis has touched countless lives, and Matt's story is a raw, unfiltered look at its impact.
He opens up about his disbelief that anything bad could happen to him, only to face the harsh realities of addiction and its consequences. From his initial exposure to drugs as a child to his eventual spiral into harder substances like methamphetamine, Matt's tale is both cautionary and inspiring. His time in a Community Based Correctional Facility marked the beginning of his turnaround. With the support of treatment programs and transitional living houses, he found a new path.
Today, Matt is not just surviving but thriving. He's a dedicated father, a Counselor's Assistant, a certified personal trainer, and a competitive powerlifter. His story underscores the power of community support and personal determination in overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear Matt's powerful reflections on his journey and how he has used his experiences to help others find their way out of the darkness.
