These are the gifts, not some of the gifts. And I want others to experience it, cause I think at least I did like god, if I get sober, my life's going to be boring and it's not going to be great, you know, because I equated greatness with like the partying and the drugs and the drinking.
Imagine having it all—thriving in a high-powered real estate career—only to watch it crumble because of addiction. That’s Sandi’s story. In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', host Brandon Lee introduces us to Sandi, who traded his once-glamorous life for the harrowing world of cocaine addiction. But this isn't just another tale of downfall; it's one of remarkable comeback and transformation.
At 40, Sandi now stands as the Owner and CEO of a company that exclusively hires recovered addicts, giving them a second chance at life just like he had. Sandi’s narrative is a powerful testament to the impact of childhood trauma on addiction. He opens up about the hidden world of drug use in private schools, shedding light on an often-overlooked issue. The episode dives deep into how mentorship and community support played crucial roles in his recovery journey.
Through rehab and sober living, Sandi found not only sobriety but also a new purpose—helping others find joy and fulfillment beyond their vices. One of the most compelling aspects of Sandi’s story is his decision to employ former addicts. He believes in giving people who’ve hit rock bottom a chance to rebuild their lives, just as he did.
This episode doesn’t shy away from discussing the fears and stigmas associated with hiring recovered addicts, but it also highlights the immense rewards and sense of community that come with it. If you’re searching for inspiration and hope, Sandi’s journey offers both in spades. His story is a vivid reminder that life after addiction can be filled with laughter, success, and a sense of purpose.
Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and why he believes everyone deserves a second chance.
