Ever wondered how someone can rise from the depths of addiction to become a beacon of hope for others? Kevin Conte's story is one for the books. Growing up in Queens, Kevin faced more than his fair share of challenges. He lost his mother to cancer at just 19, and soon after, his life spiraled into a whirlwind of ketamine, cocaine, and heroin use.
His journey took him through countless cycles of rehab and sober living, with some moments so chaotic that he was deemed too messed up to even be admitted to jail. In this episode, Kevin opens up about his tumultuous past and how he managed to keep his Twelve Step fellowship active throughout the COVID pandemic—a feat that brought immense gratitude from those who leaned on the community for support.
His story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about clawing his way back up and finding financial independence and freedom on his own terms. What sets Kevin apart is his unwavering commitment to service. His humor, eloquence, and deep understanding of recovery make his insights invaluable. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Kevin's experiences offer a lifeline of hope and practical advice.

Tune in to hear how Kevin transformed his life from the chaos of addiction to a structured, fulfilling existence focused on helping others. His journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of community in the path to recovery.
