Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life around after addiction? Paul Sanders, a man who has experienced the full spectrum of substance abuse, shares his journey from the depths of addiction to finding purpose in recovery. His story is one of resilience, hope, and transformation, showing how a life once shattered by drugs can be rebuilt.
Paul opens up about his early exposure to substances, starting with nitrous oxide at his father's dental practice and progressing to alcohol and marijuana during his teenage years. The introduction of cocaine in college marked a turning point, leading to a downward spiral that cost him his family, career, and freedom. Through candid reflections, Paul describes the darkest times living under a bridge and the pivotal moment when he decided to seek help.

Now working as a substance abuse counsellor, Paul uses his experiences to guide others away from the path he once travelled. Paul's story is a testament to the power of community support and personal determination in overcoming addiction. It’s a reminder that no matter how far you’ve fallen, there’s always a way back up.
His journey is not just about recovery but about giving back and helping others find their own path to sobriety. Are you ready to be inspired by Paul's incredible journey?
