I'm not able to look at myself and be happy with the man in the mirror even long before we say: in addiction and alcoholism, when you're working, say you're working a-step program.
Imagine growing up in an environment where your feelings were dismissed, and you were constantly made to feel inadequate. That was Drew Laboon's reality. In this episode of 'Hope Ahead', Drew opens up about how these early experiences set the stage for his struggles with addiction. He recounts how he sought solace in substances, finding a dangerous thrill in chaos and excitement.
Even his time in the military couldn't shield him from the grip of addiction, as he fought to mend fractured family relationships. Despite the generational curse of addiction, Drew remains optimistic and determined to conquer his demons. His story is a raw and honest look at the mental health challenges that accompany addiction, offering a glimmer of hope for those facing similar battles.
