Whether it be recovery, being sober, how many days you have, it's just a day by day thing. It's really not hard to be a good person now that I'm clean, you know, and I don't have to do those horrible things to get what I need, you know.
Luke's story is a whirlwind of early drug use, broken dreams, and the fight for a better life. Starting with smoking weed at just eleven, Luke's teenage years were far from typical. By thirteen, he was heavily into pot, and a football injury introduced him to pain pills. This was the beginning of a downward spiral that led to heroin and crack. Imagine openly smoking crack on public transport in San Francisco—Luke did just that.
His addiction saw him in and out of rehab, never quite finding the strength to stay clean. But his fifth stint in rehab felt different. At 28 days sober, Luke is now thinking one day at a time, dreaming of a stable life with a home and family. This episode isn't just about the depths of addiction; it's about the glimmer of hope that can appear even after years of struggle.
If you're looking for a raw, honest account of what it's like to battle addiction and strive for a better future, Luke's story is a must-listen.
