   Number 3: I Overdosed on WATER & Went Into a Coma Because of Drugs

   Louis Ruggiero sits down with John Rokee to trace his journey from childhood pain and early substance use to severe addiction, rehab, legal trouble, and a near-death experience that ultimately changed the direction of his life. John explains how drugs initially gave him relief from loneliness and insecurity, but eventually became something he could no longer control. The conversation then goes deeper into what happened after the substances were gone. John discusses replacing drugs with other coping behaviors, eventually turning to therapy, somatic trauma work, personal development, spirituality, and AA to address the fear and unresolved pain underneath his addiction. The episode ultimately becomes a conversation about accepting help, confronting trauma, and building a life in recovery rather than making recovery your entire identity. 🔔 Real stories.

   Number 5: I Was a Heroin Addict in Kensington | Now I'm 13 Years Sober

   Westley Morris was supposed to be a farm boy. His family still owns a 500-acre working farm in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. Instead, addiction took him to the darkest corner of America — the open-air drug markets of Kensington and North Philadelphia — where he watched people overdose and die on the sidewalk and wondered how any of it could be happening in this country. His last day using was December 22, 2012. What got him out wasn't willpower. It was his sister — 30 days clean herself — asking one question: "Are you ready?" She drove him to his first meeting, where 30 strangers stood up one by one and hugged him. In that moment, he felt the unconditional love he'd been chasing through drugs his entire life. In this episode, Wes and I go deep on: * His last day drinking and drugging — and the moment he knew it was over * The reality of Kensington and North Philly, then and now * The genetics of addiction and why it runs in families * Why the 12 steps are the greatest personal development program ever created * Trying to fix a spiritual void with a physical thing — and why it never works * His mom's 1997 arrest, and how she taught him you can fall down and get back up * Life today: professional speaker, author, husband — and his message for anyone still suffering If you're struggling right now, hear this from Wes: your future potential is not a reflection of your current results. 🔔 Real stories.
