I know what you've been through as a kid, and all these things were super impactful, as I'm standing there like listening to my family and the things I've been pondering, and I said, I know that you know it's words, but you know I've made a decision for me and it had to be my decision, but I've made this decision that I'm going to stop drinking.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of despair to the heights of corporate success? Titus Gardner’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and hope. Born in Portchester, NY, Titus grew up facing challenges that would break many. Raised by a man he later discovered wasn't his biological father, he struggled with an identity crisis that led him down a dark path.
Both of his parents were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS during his teenage years, a disease that ultimately claimed their lives. This devastating loss pushed Titus into the world of drug dealing and alcohol abuse as he sought ways to cope with his grief and confusion. Fast forward to March 31, 2020, a date that marks the beginning of Titus’s journey to recovery.
Now, he's not just surviving; he's thriving as a Vice President for a Fortune 1000 company, overseeing the Arizona market. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Titus sits down with host Ashley Loeb Blassingame to share his incredible journey. From his tumultuous past to his current role in the corporate world, Titus opens up about the importance of self-love and self-care in maintaining sobriety.
He candidly discusses how addiction strained his relationships and the difficult but necessary conversations he had with his family during his recovery process. Titus also talks about his Instagram account, @tmgmotivation, where he encourages others to find strength and share their own stories of recovery. If you’re looking for a story that proves change is possible no matter how dire your circumstances, this episode is a must-listen.
