In today's heartfelt episode, I share part 3 of my personal journey to overcome methamphetamine addiction, a struggle that was magnified by the devastating loss of my father to suicide.
I explore the harsh realities of hitting rock bottom, the challenges faced when trying to get clean, and the fallout left behind as a consequence of addiction.
Sharing raw and intimate insights - from daily injections of meth to the mental health crisis and even into the world of homelessness - I hope my tale of recovery will serve as a beacon of hope for those still finding their footing on their path to recovery.
Prepare yourself for an emotionally charged narrative that lays bare the reality of addiction and its aftermath.
