S3E7: From abuse to addiction and the invitation that broke the chains, with Erik Allen

Update: 2021-03-10

Description

When Erik's mother remarried and started a new family, he was sent to live in the garage. Feeling abandoned and also being a witness of the abuse in the household, Erik fought back at just 14yrs old and got kicked out of the house....(well, actually the garage). Left to his own devices, he turned to the comfort of drugs and alcohol and accumulated $28k of debt by the age 21. Feeling lost and lonely, Erik opened himself up to change and he was answered with an invitation which flipped the script.
