In many ways, the criminal lifestyle saved my life because once I got up and I got loaded and I went and did all that stuff the rest of the day, I didn't have to think about how I didn't want to do it anymore for that next stretch of 24 or 36 or 72 hours.
Imagine being faced with a decision that could cost you your freedom for the rest of your life. That's exactly the dilemma Matthew Hahn encountered. In this episode, Jeannine continues her riveting conversation with Matt, a man whose meth addiction and criminal past led him down a dark path. By the age of 18, Matt had already earned three strikes, and at 25, he found himself back in the throes of addiction, fresh off parole.
His attempt to support his habit by stealing a safe turned his world upside down when he discovered evidence of a heinous crime inside it. Part Two picks up in 2005, right where Part One left off, diving into the aftermath of Matt's shocking discovery. Facing the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison if he turned in the evidence, Matt's story is a gripping tale of tough choices and dire consequences.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Matt's journey takes a transformative turn as he returns to prison and begins to embrace Buddhism, finding solace and a path to recovery through mindfulness and self-reflection. Through his candid account, Matt shares how he rebuilt his life from the ground up, offering valuable insights into overcoming addiction and finding purpose even in the darkest times. If you're looking for a story that highlights resilience and personal growth, this episode is a must-listen.
