Alcoholics Anonymous saved my life. I tried inpatient rehab, outpatient programs, and every drug imaginable—but the loop of addiction almost killed me.
🎢 From ecstasy and designer drugs in the 90s rave scene to the hopelessness of a father who wanted to die—this is a brutally honest addiction recovery story.
💡 If you've ever felt like you’re stuck on a merry-go-round of relapse, shame, and craving... you're not alone.
🧠 Addiction isn't just about substances—it’s about escaping the present moment through any external fix. And for many, that spiral starts early and escalates fast.
👨👧👦 "I had 3 young kids. I wanted to die. Rehab wasn't a luxury—it was a lifeline."
🛏️ From the raw truth of inpatient rehab to the spiritual breakthrough on his knees in a hospital room, this story is a living testament that recovery is possible.
🔥 Your greatest chapter isn’t behind you—it’s waiting to be written.
