Bestselling author, motivational speaker, and therapist Joey Pagano shares his own journey with substance abuse. Joey talks about how he found solace in drugs due to his family's rigid doctrine and how it ultimately saved him from wanting to take his own life. Joey also explores how addiction can impact relationships and how it can affect different people regardless of background or faith-based upbringing. The episode also discusses the journey of addiction and how to get clean, the importance of recognizing the moment of clarity when it comes, and the courage to write a book about their experiences. Finally, the power of hope and not giving up on someone is highlighted, as well as the importance of being open-minded and meeting people where they are. 

The main takeaway is to love people where they are at.
