Listen Later

In this powerful episode, hosts Louis and Aaron sit down with Devin Nunamaker, a man whose story takes us deep into the chaos of early addiction and the hope of true recovery. Devin was first introduced to drugs at just 12 years old, starting with what seemed harmless but quickly spiraling out of control. By 13, he was already using heroin—an unimaginable reality for someone barely entering their teenage years.

From that point on, Devin’s life became a blur of institutions, jail cells, and near-death experiences. He spent years wondering what was wrong with him, trying to figure out how he could possibly break free from the grip of addiction. Each attempt at change only seemed to lead him deeper into the cycle, leaving him more lost, broken, and questioning if there was ever a way out.

But today, Devin’s story has taken a new turn. For the first time in his life, he is truly getting sober at House of Hope, a local rehab facility where he’s learning to rebuild from the inside out. With honesty and raw emotion, Devin shares what it was like to grow up in addiction, the countless mistakes and struggles along the way, and the surprising moments of clarity that kept him hanging on.

This episode isn’t just about addiction—it’s about redemption, survival, and the fight to finally reclaim a life once thought lost. Devin’s journey is a reminder of how deep the hole of addiction can go, but also how powerful recovery can be when a person is ready to embrace it.

Tune in to hear Devin’s wild, heartbreaking, and inspiring story—from his troubled childhood to his first steps toward freedom today.🔥 Expect emotion. Expect truth.
