Tyler Gould: From Turbulent Youth to a New Life in Sobriety
I just want you guys to know that you're not alone. Because it's no life when you get high just to get by, but I found myself doing it most of the time. We changed it, man, tainted by the things in my place.
Imagine growing up in a seemingly typical Utah household, only to find yourself kicked out of school for selling ADD medication. That's where Tyler Gould's journey begins. In this eye-opening episode of 'Project Recovery', Tyler sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to recount his rollercoaster ride through addiction and recovery. At just fifteen, Tyler started 'chasing the high', leading him down a path filled with more addictive substances and increasingly risky behaviors.
His story takes a dramatic turn when he moves to Hawaii, thinking a change of scenery might help, but instead, it only fuels his addiction further. Tyler doesn't hold back as he talks about hitting rock bottom and the tragic loss of his sister, which became a turning point in his life. He shares how this devastating event led him to meet his wife and motivated him to pursue a sober life.
Through music and love, Tyler found a new purpose. This episode isn't just about the lows of addiction; it's about the highs of recovery and the strength it takes to turn your life around. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Tyler's story offers a powerful message of hope and resilience.
