Back & forth from prison, every drug under the sun, Suboxone and a profound spiritual experience E70

Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of addiction and prison time? Meet Michael 'Sweets' Wilson. In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', Michael recounts his tumultuous journey from early drug use to bouncing in and out of prison. At one point, he even believed he was destined to be caged forever. But something shifted.

Whether it was the thought of his children growing up without him or the disappointment from his family, Michael decided to fight back. Fast forward to today, he’s over a decade clean and sober, co-running a recovery house, and working as an interventionist for families grappling with addiction. He’s even got a podcast called 'Collateral Damage' and a book titled 'Loving Lions'. Michael dives into topics like anonymity, medication-assisted treatment, Twelve-step programs, and the power of community.

His story is raw, real, and incredibly inspiring. If you’re looking for a tale of resilience and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
