Summary
In this episode, we feature Justin, who wrestled with addiction from a very young age. At the age of 13, drug and alcohol use became a means of escape from the daily madness at home. Little did Justin know at the time, that this would evolve into a way of life for him for many years, and he came to realize that rock bottoms had basements. Justin endured a state of mind filled with hopelessness, surpassing even experiences of homelessness, being stabbed, and grappling with addiction.
Justin's turning point came when he was rescued by a Pasco County sheriff’s officer, marking the beginning of his journey to reclaim his life. Join us as we jump into Justin's story on the Sober Motivation podcast.
