Ever wondered how someone can go from the wild NYC club scene at 16 to becoming a beacon of hope in the recovery community? Meet Kevin Conte. Growing up in Queens, Kevin's life took a tumultuous turn after losing his mother to cancer at just 19. This tragedy led him down a dark path involving ketamine, cocaine, black tar heroin, and China white. But Kevin's story is far from just another tale of addiction.
It's a powerful testament to resilience and the transformative power of service. During the COVID pandemic, Kevin was instrumental in keeping his Twelve Step fellowship active, providing a lifeline for many who were struggling. His journey is filled with ups and downs, including moments so chaotic he couldn't even get into jail. Yet, through it all, Kevin found his way to financial independence and personal freedom. This episode isn't just about the struggles; it's also about the triumphs.
Kevin's humor, eloquence, and deep understanding of recovery make his story not only compelling but also incredibly inspiring. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Kevin's experiences offer valuable lessons and a hefty dose of hope. Jeannine Coulter Lindgren, who herself has walked the rocky road of addiction, hosts this heartfelt conversation.
Alongside Narcan Nate, a harm reduction advocate, they bring out the raw, unfiltered truth of what it means to hit rock bottom and climb back up. If you're looking for a story that combines grit with grace, this episode is a must-listen.
