I want to bring more of an understanding that it doesn't necessarily have to be [traumatic childhood to fall into addiction].
Imagine facing six felonies before turning 19. That was Sterling Shrout's reality, growing up in poverty and falling in with the wrong crowd early on. His story, shared with Lane Kennedy and Tamar Medford on 'The Now What Society', is one of grit, transformation, and the power of second chances. Sterling's journey wasn't easy—after nearly a decade of drug abuse, homelessness, and incarceration, he found himself at a crossroads.
The path to recovery was long and winding, but through education, hard work, and meaningful relationships, Sterling turned his life around. Today, he's a successful entrepreneur with several small businesses and a family who stands proud by his side. But Sterling's mission doesn't stop there. He's dedicated to helping others find their way out of similar struggles, using his experiences to guide them toward a better future.
His work with nonprofits like One Life Fully Lived showcases his commitment to making lasting change. This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about reclaiming your life and building something incredible from the ground up. Tune in to hear Sterling's compelling story and find inspiration for your own journey toward recovery.
