I am the addiction, that's me, and if I can't get it, then I'm not me, that I might as well be not a person.
Imagine growing up in the Bronx with a crack dealer as your head of household. That was Jon Castro's reality. In this episode of RECOVCAST, Jon opens up about his tumultuous journey through a decade-long battle with cocaine and crack addiction. Bullied as a child and turning inward, Jon found an escape in drugs at an early age.
His story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, including a marriage to a Jehovah's Witness in a desperate attempt to clean up his act. But it wasn't until Jon hit rock bottom that he realized he needed to make a significant change. Through therapy and mindfulness, Jon is now on the path to recovery. He emphasizes the importance of self-motivation and staying present in the moment.
If you're looking for a story of resilience and hope, Jon's tale is one you won't want to miss.
