Taking on that school of thought, uh, is, is a big deal. Can you compare the two a little bit, I mean with both of your experience, because that's gotta be awesome. It made it easier to also channel that experience that I had in recovery into my new experience in school and my new experience in lacrosse and and all the above.
Timmy Brooks had it all – a promising future as one of the nation's top high school lacrosse recruits, a supportive family, and a life in one of America's wealthiest suburbs. But his story took a dramatic turn when he found himself on Good Morning America, not for his athletic achievements, but for his involvement as the No. 2 man in a notorious drug ring. Facing prison time and national scrutiny, Timmy's world was turned upside down.
In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', host Pete Sousa sits down with Timmy to unravel his wild ride from the heights of lacrosse stardom to the depths of addiction and legal troubles. Timmy opens up about his time in jail and how hitting rock bottom led him to a path of recovery.
He talks candidly about trading a life of 'taking' in addiction for one of 'giving' in sobriety, emphasizing the crucial roles of vulnerability, family support, and community in his journey. Listeners will hear Timmy's heartfelt account of finding a solution through deep recovery work, which eventually led him to achieve a college lacrosse title in sobriety. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just possible but can lead to new heights of personal success and fulfillment.
Timmy's transformation highlights the importance of second chances and the teachable, repeatable nature of the recovery process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, whether directly or indirectly, offering hope and practical insights into the power of resilience and community support.
