In this powerful episode of Inspiring Stories of Recovery, host David Sichel sits down with Jimmy, the Alumni Coordinator at Discovery Institute, to share his journey of addiction, struggle, and ultimate redemption.

Jimmy opens up about his childhood, growing up surrounded by addiction, and how early exposure to drugs and alcohol shaped his life. From experimenting with alcohol in fifth grade to becoming a full-blown heroin addict, Jimmy takes us through the painful reality of his addiction—selling drugs, multiple arrests, overdoses, and years of rehab attempts.

Despite hitting rock bottom countless times, Jimmy's story is one of perseverance. After 27 overdoses, several near-fatal car crashes, and losing all hope, something finally clicked. Through the support of Discovery Institute and the recovery community, he embraced change, stayed the course, and rebuilt his life. Now, as an advocate for those in recovery, Jimmy dedicates himself to helping others find their own path to sobriety.

His raw and honest story is a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of connection, and the fact that no matter how many times you fall, you can always rise again.
