Victor Ulman: Choosing Recovery and Finding Hope

Life really doesn't have to be as complicated as we make it. But you've got to make the choice to get right.
Imagine being at a crossroads where your next decision could shape your entire future. That's where Victor Ulman found himself. In this episode of 'Sharing Our Stories', hosted by Senen Slim Rodriguez and Shawn Jenkins, Victor opens up about his pivotal moment of choosing recovery over a life of addiction. With nearly 12 years of sobriety under his belt, Victor's journey is a testament to the power of making tough choices and the impact they can have on one's life.
Coming from a loving family and holding a good job didn't shield Victor from making poor decisions that led him down the path of substance abuse. When faced with the stark choice between prison and rehab, he chose the latter, a decision that set him on the road to recovery. Victor talks candidly about the sacrifices involved in getting clean, like distancing himself from friends who were still using.
But he also highlights the hope and support he found along the way, emphasizing how listening to others' stories and having someone to talk to made a significant difference. He even shares his phone number, offering a lifeline to anyone who needs to talk. This episode isn't just about Victor's past; it's about the choices we all face and the potential for change.
His story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, reminding us that recovery is possible and that support is always within reach.
