I became definitely a person that I'd never wanted to be, and I indulged in something that I never wanted to indulge in, and from That Day on, my criminal life started, you know, and it didn't. I really wish I would have never done this, because now, during sobriety, I look back and I wonder: how many lives did I help to ruin along with my own?
Ever wondered how a simple prescription can spiral into a full-blown addiction? Aaron Blanchard takes you through his personal journey in this eye-opening episode of 'Dose of Sobriety'. It all began with a series of injuries on the job, leading to a hefty prescription of painkillers. Unfamiliar with opiates, Aaron soon discovered their euphoric effects, using them as an escape from reality.
What started as relief quickly turned into dependence, pulling him into a life marked by bad choices and even criminal activities. Reflecting on his path, Aaron questions how many lives were impacted by his addiction. Now, with over two years of sobriety under his belt, he shares his story to offer hope and inspiration to those battling similar demons. Tune in to hear Aaron's raw and honest account of his descent into addiction and his ongoing journey towards recovery.
