Description

At 25, Justin Gurland confessed to his father—an esteemed doctor—that he was shooting heroin. That same day, he checked into detox. What followed was a journey of brutal honesty, spiritual awakening, and 17 years of unwavering sobriety.




In this raw and unfiltered episode of Nothing’s Off the Table, Justin opens up about:


    •    His descent into addiction during college in Vermont


    •    Shooting dope alone in his NYC apartment


    •    The exact moment he hit bottom—and asked for help


    •    Building a new life through AA, service, and purpose


    •    And his next chapter: launching The Maze, NYC’s first members-only sober club




This is more than a comeback story—it’s a movement. The Maze isn’t just a sober social space, it’s a lifeline for the recovery community and the sober-curious. If you’ve ever felt like sobriety was isolating, this episode will show you what’s possible when community, purpose, and healing come together.
