David Smeltz: From Addiction to Advocacy

And so by sharing our stories, you know, in whatever format or method we do we do we do help people, and I think that that's for people that are in recovery, like us, when we're trying to shine the light and hold the lantern right.
What happens when the founder of a reggae band spirals into addiction and then finds his way back? In this episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', Marc Lee Shannon sits down with ITAL founder David Smeltz for an eye-opening conversation about his journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others. Smeltz recounts how he went from casual drug use to spending $15,000 on substances, hitting rock bottom, and finally seeking help.

He highlights the importance of seeking help and the power of sharing personal experiences in the recovery community. This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing addiction or supporting someone who is, offering both cautionary tales and messages of hope.
