Part of my trauma was probably the absentee of that, and when I started drinking and taking cigarettes out of his pack and pills from my mom from a young age, I didn't feel alone anymore, and that's probably where my gateway drug or my gateway behavior started inside the studios.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', hosts Jason and Mikey sit down with Sam Lucania, author of 'Just Don't Die'. Sam opens up about his tumultuous journey from a typical New Jersey upbringing to the depths of addiction and back. As a high-energy kid struggling with anxiety and depression, Sam turned to alcohol and marijuana, which eventually spiraled into heavy drinking and prescription drug abuse.
His story takes a dark turn when he recounts his overdose, waking up handcuffed to a gurney with no memory of how he got there. Instead of seeking help, Sam's addiction led him to crime and a three-year jail sentence in 2015, which became his wake-up call. Now a recovery advocate, Sam shares how he navigated the challenges of sobriety, especially during the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of support systems, self-care, and faith.
His candidness and resilience serve as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible. Tune in to hear how Sam's journey can inspire anyone facing similar battles.
