Nomi’s story begins thousands of miles away from recovery rooms and treatment centers.
Born in India to a Jewish mother and a Hindu guru father, his childhood was marked by contradiction, chaos, abuse, and a constant feeling of not belonging anywhere. Growing up surrounded by religion only pushed him further away from God. By the time he was a kid, he was already searching for ways to escape himself.
And eventually, he found drugs.

Will’s story isn’t the version of alcoholism most people expect.
He didn’t fit the stereotype. High-achieving, intelligent, outwardly functional, and capable of building a successful life, Will looked like someone who had it together. But underneath the ambition, the work ethic, and the performance was something much darker.
Growing up on the East Coast in an achievement-driven family, Will learned early that success mattered. But al...
Steve didn’t slowly drift into addiction—he was wired for it.
Raised in the Valley in a traditional home, Steve’s early life was marked by violence, instability, and a constant need for intensity. From getting into fights as a kid to setting fires for the thrill of it, there was always something inside him chasing adrenaline - something that didn’t know how to sit still.
And when life gave him structure, he thrived.
With the right gui...
Morgan’s story doesn’t start at rock bottom—it blows straight through it.
Growing up in South Florida, her life was marked early on by instability, confusion, and a constant search for something that felt like solid ground. What followed was a familiar but brutal path: drugs, chaos, and a steady descent into self-destruction.
But even by recovery standards… Morgan pushed the limits.
In one of the most brutally honest moments of this e...

Some people get sober after they've lost everything. Bridget Lieberman got sober before she had the chance to.
Growing up in Los Angeles with a complicated and often confusing upbringing, Bridget was already running on fumes by the time she hit 15. Her story could have gone the way so many others do—addiction deepening, consequences piling up, another young life slipping through the cracks. But Brigette did something extraordin...
For years, Sarah Jacobs was lost to the streets, trapped in a brutal cycle of heroin addiction, arrests, and heartbreak. She spent her days chasing a high and her nights in jail cells or treatment centers—each time vowing it would be the last, and each time falling again. She lost everything: her freedom, her dignity, and the most devastating of all—custody of her three children.
But this is not a story of defeat. This is the story ...
Pete used to be all smoke and mirrors—a fast-talking hustler with a gift for manipulation and a knack for disappearing just when things got real. He had no map, no mission, and no clue who he was without the drugs. Directionless, disconnected, and dangerously close to becoming another cautionary tale, Peter lived a life that was all hustle, no heart.
But then something unexpected happened: he got clean. And everything changed.
In thi...
Andrew Eaton never quite fit the mold. Raised by a mother immersed in the arts, he grew up in motion—always moving, always searching, never quite landing.

What started as an escape quickly became a death sentence. Andrew's body began ...
