I'm still making decisions based off of self which will later put me in a position to be hurt every time I make these constant selfish decisions. I'm having super urges and I'm freaking out.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to rise again. That's Simon's story. Growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Simon faced a rough upbringing that led him into the throes of addiction. His life spiraled further when he relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, where he found himself homeless and struggling with a vicious cycle of substance abuse. But Simon's journey didn't end there.
While incarcerated in his teens, he discovered a passion for music and rapping, which became a beacon of hope in his darkest days. Now known as FACE, Simon is not just an aspiring artist playing shows and recording music videos; he's also a beacon of support for others battling addiction. He speaks at treatment centers, leads group discussions, and even hosts a weekly Zoom meeting to offer guidance and hope.
In this episode of 'The New Way of Life Podcast', Simon opens up about his path to recovery, emphasizing the importance of community support and self-reflection. His honesty and vulnerability make his story relatable and inspiring for anyone facing similar struggles. Simon’s tale is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the pit, there’s always a way out.
Tune in to hear how he transformed his life from homelessness to sobriety, and how he's using his experiences to help others find their way.
