We're losing more people, but people are still in the sense they don't want to talk about it until it affects them, and then it's usually too late.
Tim Ryan's life reads like a movie script, but every bit of it is true. In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Tim opens up about his 30-year battle with addiction, starting with heroin at age 32 and spiraling into a life fueled by drugs and alcohol. Despite being a successful tech entrepreneur, his substance abuse led him to prison. It was behind bars that Tim found sobriety through the prison's drug and alcohol treatment program.
Paroled after 13 months, he transformed from the 'Dope Man' to the 'Hope Man'. Now, he's on a mission to help millions find their way out of addiction. Tim shares how support groups and therapy were crucial in his recovery, and why he passionately advocates for the Good Samaritan Law and open conversations about addiction. This episode is a compelling listen for anyone touched by addiction, offering hope and practical advice on the road to recovery.
