In this episode of Stop Child Abuse Now, we hear the harrowing yet hopeful story of Lang Martinez, a survivor of violence and sexual abuse. Coming from Oxnard, California, Lang's journey has been fraught with challenges, from being seduced into a life of cocaine dealing and risky behavior in the underbelly of Hollywood's elite to facing imprisonment and homelessness. Despite these adversities, Lang has fought tirelessly to overcome the trauma inflicted upon him as a teenager in Los Angeles.
Lang discusses how his life spiraled into a cycle of addiction and crime, leading to numerous imprisonments and a perpetual state of homelessness. However, he also highlights moments of clarity and hope, where he managed to build a legitimate career and family life, even if only temporarily. These experiences have equipped him with a wealth of knowledge about the struggles of addiction and the long road to recovery.

He emphasizes the need for survivors to understand that they are not to blame for the abuse they endured. By sharing his story, Lang hopes to offer support and encouragement to others who have faced similar traumas, reminding them that healing is possible. Lang's journey is also about reinvention and moving from being a victim to a victor.
His involvement with organizations like Keys to Recovery and his engagement with various media outlets underscore his commitment to helping others break free from the cycle of abuse and addiction. Through his candid sharing, Lang inspires listeners to acknowledge their past, embrace healing, and find strength in their journey towards a brighter future.
