When we think of a typical drug addict, we think of someone who turned to drugs in an attempt to cope with trauma and often childhood abuse. That wasn't the case for Culley.
He describes having the perfect childhood, growing up with great parents who gave him all the love he could've asked for; but that didn't stop him getting on the ice and every other drug you can think of - choosing a life of chaos.
Dealing to feed his addiction and his ego, believing himself untouchable, Culley lived that life for a decade, before it all caught up with him.
Jail was the wakeup call that finally snapped him out of his toxic mindset, starting the long overdue process of self-discovery with a sober mind.
Now 8 years clean, Culley's living an honest life as his authentic self, working for everything he has in a real job, building himself up and doing his best to stay on top of his mental health with the help of therapy and tools gained from the hard lessons he's learned.
This is James Culley...
