I Stuck a NeedIe in My Arm 2 Hours After Prison Release | IV Drug Use, Prison Riots & Getting Sober
Description
Garet McLendon spent years trapped in a cycle of addiction, violence, and incarceration — selling meth, surviving prison riots, and losing everything that mattered most, including his relationship with his daughter.
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Garet opens up about:
Growing up surrounded by abuse, instability, and addiction
Dropping out of school and running the streets
Selling meth and cycling in and out of jail and prison
Witnessing extreme violence, riots, and survival inside the system
The moment he finally surrendered and chose sobriety
Rebuilding life from nothing at 33 years old
Learning how to be a present, trustworthy father after years of absence
Why discipline, structure, and inner work saved his life
Now approaching 13 years clean and sober, Garet lives a life rooted in gratitude, discipline, and service — proving that no matter how far gone you think you are, it’s never too late to start over.
This episode is for anyone struggling with addiction, incarceration, shame, or feeling “too far behind” to change.
