And what happened to Tee after that visit to the halfway house and how his recovery has progressed in Years, and what that looks like for someone to go through all the stages and trials of life for Years without finding it necessary to drink or to use drugs, or that it's ever safe for you to do that again.
Meet Tee Martin, a man who has worn many hats—beatnik, gentleman, outlaw, musician, and clinician. Celebrating 36 years of sobriety, Tee's story is one of resilience and transformation. In this episode of AllBetter, hosted by Joe Van Wie, Tee takes us on a vivid journey through his life, from the gritty streets of Scranton's Bellevue section to the bustling avenues of New York City in the early '60s.
Tee's addiction took root during these formative years, leading him down a path that eventually brought him to inpatient treatment at the newly opened Marworth drug and alcohol treatment center in the 1980s. Tee's narrative is not just about the dark days of addiction but also about the light at the end of the tunnel. He reflects on how his experiences with street culture, heroin addiction, and mental health shaped his journey to recovery.
His voice, described as hypnotic by Joe, brings to life the alien-like landscape of Bellevue and the giants it forged, including Tee himself. Listeners will be moved by Tee's detailed recounting of his childhood and the profound impact it had on his life. His story offers a raw and honest look at the realities many carry quietly, making it relatable for anyone touched by addiction or mental health struggles.
Tune in to hear Tee Martin's compelling tale of overcoming adversity and achieving sobriety. Whether you're seeking inspiration for your own journey or looking to understand the complexities of addiction and recovery, this episode promises to be both enlightening and heartening.
