I don't shut the f*** up about my recovery, man. I want that 14-15 year old little Mexican kid that has no idea that the way he's living his life or the way that he sees his family lives his life can be completely different on the drop of a dime if you really wanted to or needed to or put in the work.
Imagine growing up in a neighborhood where addiction is the norm, and you find yourself on the same perilous path. That was Johnny Martinez's reality. In this gripping episode of 'Facing Addiction', Johnny takes us through his tumultuous journey from early drug use to becoming an inspiring advocate for recovery and harm reduction.
Once caught in the throes of gang activity and severe addiction, Johnny's life spiraled out of control, leading him to a dark place where he almost ended his life. However, hitting rock bottom became the catalyst for a remarkable transformation. Johnny shares how he turned his life around with the help of a 12-step program and a newfound purpose. Now, he travels the world to support others in their recovery journeys and runs his own non-profit organization.
His story isn't just about personal redemption; it's about giving back to the community and fostering open conversations about addiction and recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope, understanding, or inspiration in their own battles or those of their loved ones.
