No matter how far down the rabbit hole you go when you make that choice to reach out to god and ask for grace.
Freddy Negrete's life reads like a Hollywood script, but it's all too real. Orphaned at two when his parents, both Pachuco gangsters, went to jail, Freddy's childhood was marked by foster care and boys' homes. It wasn't long before he followed in his parents' footsteps, entangled in a world of gangs, drugs, and prison. But it was behind bars that Freddy discovered his talent for tattooing, eventually becoming a pioneer in black and grey realism.
In this gripping episode of The Recovery Revolution, Freddy shares his tumultuous journey from the streets to sobriety. He opens up about the highs and lows of his life, including a near-fatal heart attack that served as a wake-up call. Freddy's story is one of resilience and transformation, finding spiritual healing and dedicating his life to helping others escape the dangerous paths he once walked.
This episode is a raw and inspiring testament to the power of redemption and the importance of community support in recovery.
