I realized how strong drugs really were. I got a job at J Alexander's restaurant and I went out and drank with the people after work, and I thought I'm not doing drugs.
Ever wondered how a scared little kid from Ohio ends up becoming a high-level drug dealer? Matt Conway's story is a wild ride through the ups and downs of addiction, risky behavior, and ultimately, redemption. Growing up, Matt craved attention and found it by taking increasingly dangerous risks. By high school, he was not just experimenting with drugs and alcohol but also selling marijuana to his peers.
His knack for the hustle led him deeper into the world of drug dealing, expanding his operations and facing the inevitable consequences. Kicked out of high school and later caught numerous times, Matt's life spiraled into chaos, landing him in prison multiple times. But this isn't just a story of downfall; it's one of incredible transformation. Today, Matt has several years of sobriety under his belt and speaks candidly about his journey to recovery.
He emphasizes the importance of community support, highlighting how a pastor and his now-wife played crucial roles in his path to sobriety. Host Trevor Steinhauser takes you through Matt's raw and unfiltered experiences, shedding light on the stark realities of addiction while offering a beacon of hope. Whether you're struggling with addiction, know someone who is, or simply want to understand more about the complexities of mental health and substance abuse, this episode of 'Stigmatized' is a must-listen.
It's a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the path may seem, redemption is always within reach.
