From Rock Bottom to Rebuilding: Drew O'Connell's Journey

You know, it reminded me that I'm exactly where I need to be. Even if the universe is upside down, I'm still standing up.
Ever thought about how addiction can strip away everything, even the wheels off your car? In this episode of 'Palm Trees and Drugs', Drew O'Connell opens up about his own battle with addiction and the path to recovery. Drew shares a deeply personal story of how addiction took everything from him, including the wheels of his beloved Volkswagen. But this isn't just a tale of loss; it's one of redemption and resilience.
He talks about the power of support and how small words from loved ones helped him reclaim not just his wheels, but his life. Drew also delves into the challenges of 'adulting' without the guiding hand of his Nan, who played a crucial role in his life. Financial identity theft further complicated his journey, affecting his unemployment and stimulus checks. Despite these hurdles, Drew's story is one of hope and perseverance.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder that reaching out for help and maintaining a positive outlook can make all the difference. Tune in to hear Drew's inspiring journey and find out how he turned his life around.
