Listen Later

Have you ever felt completely hopeless watching someone you love spiral out of control?

Do you have a family member/loved one srtuggling with addiction? https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc

In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, we sit down with our close friend and coworker, Shermain, who shares how he went from the streets of Memphis—deep in gang life and heroin addiction—to now celebrating over 5 years of sobriety.

Charmaine opens up about:

  • Growing up in poverty and addiction

  • His darkest moments alone in a hotel room

  • What finally got him clean after years of relapse

  • Why surrendering to the program saved his life

His story is raw, real, and proof that recovery is possible for anyone—no matter how far gone they feel.
