Sobriety has given me everything that drugs and alcohol ever promised.
Imagine reaching the pinnacle of your dreams at just 15, only to watch it all crumble due to addiction. That's the story Brandon Novak shares in this gripping episode of 'Project Recovery'. Once a pro skateboarder endorsed by Gatorade and filming commercials with Michael Jordan, Brandon's life took a dark turn when he fell into the grip of substance abuse.
By 17, he was working for his idol, Tony Hawk, but addiction soon led him down a path of loss and despair. He lost nearly everything, including a restraining order from his own mother. Brandon's candid account of his 13th attempt at recovery in 2016, which finally stuck, is a raw and honest look at the struggles and triumphs of battling addiction. This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of seeking help.
Whether you're facing similar challenges or supporting someone who is, Brandon's journey from fame to rock bottom and back to sobriety offers hope and inspiration.
