Paul Scudo: From High-Powered Job to Helping Hands in Recovery

"There is still some part of me that thinks this has happened so quickly and for The Decades that it took me to destroy my life for it to come back in Just Under A Decade almost doesn't seem like it's fair."
Imagine having a high-flying career but secretly battling a drug addiction. That was Paul Scudo's reality. In this episode of 'Back from Broken', hosted by Vic Vela, Paul opens up about his journey from the depths of addiction to a life dedicated to helping others recover. Despite his successful hotel job, Paul struggled to keep his addiction under wraps. The constant stress of hiding his drug use eventually led to his downfall, culminating in regular stints in jail.
But Paul's story didn't end there. A spiritual awakening sparked his path to recovery, leading him to quit drugs and alcohol. Today, Paul works at the very recovery center that helped him turn his life around, finding purpose in supporting others who are battling addiction. This episode is not just about Paul's personal struggles and triumphs; it's a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. It shows that even in the darkest times, recovery is within reach.
Tune in to hear Paul's candid reflections on his journey and the transformative power of helping others.
