I just feel grateful to still be alive, right? And so, you know, I, I grew up as an only child and you know.
What happens when a person decides to turn their life around after years of addiction? In this episode of 'This Pink Cloud', DJ Kelly Reverb and Dillon Kingston sit down with Sam Tucker, who has been sober for 15 years after a long battle with crystal meth addiction. Growing up as an only child in the 80s, Sam experimented with drugs and alcohol at a young age, which quickly escalated to more dangerous substances like crystal meth.
He shares the chaotic reality of his addiction, from budgeting his paycheck to steal from others just to maintain his habit to losing touch with personal hygiene. Despite the severity of his addiction, Sam found the strength to seek help and begin his journey of recovery. He talks about the importance of finding support and community in recovery, whether through traditional 12-step programs or alternative programs like Smart Recovery and CMA.
Sam also reflects on the shame and stigma surrounding addiction and the role of personal responsibility in addiction recovery. Ultimately, Sam's story is one of hope and resilience. He has found purpose in helping others in recovery and spreading the message that sobriety is possible. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode is a must-listen. Join Kelly Reverb and Dillon Kingston as they explore the realities of addiction and the power of recovery.
