Frank's Journey: From Heroin to Healing

I don't know what they seen in me, but my lifestyle always we weren't at that crossroads for too long... I look back at that now and that's pretty special.
Frank's story is a rollercoaster of hardship, addiction, and ultimate redemption. Growing up in a violent household, he sought refuge in Melbourne's bikie scene, where heroin became his crutch. The criminal lifestyle offered an endless supply of his drug of choice but took a toll on his body and soul. Frank's journey to recovery was long and arduous, spanning over a decade, but his candid reflections are both humorous and insightful.
Now, as a peer worker at Windana, Frank uses his past to guide others on their path to sobriety. This episode of 'Straight From the Source' dives deep into the challenges and triumphs of Frank's life, highlighting the power of peer support and the importance of positive role models. With a mix of honesty and humor, Frank's story is a testament to resilience and the possibility of change.
