Description

Nick’s story is one of the most raw and inspiring transformations you’ll ever hear. Once homeless on the streets of Detroit, sleeping in dumpsters and abandoned boats, Nick’s addiction to cocaine, pills, and heroin led him to DUIs, high-speed police chases, jail time, and near-death experiences.But after hitting rock bottom, he found recovery, rebuilt his life, and is now 10 years sober. In this interview, Nick shares:


What it was like growing up with an alcoholic father


His descent into heroin and the chaos of street lifeJail time, overdose scares, and losing his brother


How long-term treatment finally gave him a chance at freedom


The spiritual awakening that changed everything


How he built a new life, got married, went back to school, and found purpose in helping others


This is proof that recovery is possible and that no matter how far gone you feel, you can rise above.
