I got another opportunity came my way, and so I was recruited for the McDonald's management program. Wow, and so I remember being at my mother's and my son being a teenager and I didn't have a driver's license because my license had been suspended so many times- from driving while license suspended or revoked, or being caught with drugs in my vehicle, in which case your license is suspended in the state of Florida for Two Years.
Imagine starting your journey with addiction at just six years old. Pastor Michael Carter did, seeing drugs as a gateway to money, power, and influence. By nine, he was snorting heroin. His story, shared on 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', is a raw and honest look at the depths of addiction and the heights of recovery. In his twenties, Michael reached his breaking point and found a new path through faith.
Now, alongside his wife Yvette, he runs Victor Newman Ministries, a non-profit dedicated to nourishing both the bodies and souls of those in need. Michael's tale isn't just about his own recovery; it's about the impact of addiction on families and the power of community support. He opens up about how enabling behaviors from loved ones can perpetuate addiction and how breaking free from this cycle was crucial for his recovery.
The episode also sheds light on evolving rehab methods, from traditional 12-step programs to innovative alternatives that are proving effective. Through Michael's journey, you'll find a powerful message of hope, faith, and redemption. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
