Addiction can happen to anyone at any time and often we don't know it's happening until it's too late. From recreational and street drugs, to prescription medication and  alcohol abuse, it's all too easy to slip into a cycle of substance abuse. Luke and Kyle discuss David's rise, fall and rise again. We are happy you made it back David!!

David was a young, successful, high-flying executive, making his way to the top! First working for a record label in LA, he then fell into the business and marketing side of the  adult film industry! By his twenties, he had 'the cars, the girls, the houses, and the expensive watches', and he felt he had the world at his feet. Then came Heroin. David's story plays out like a real life Hollywood Movie, and as heroin addiction took hold, he would lose everything. His battle against the addiction, the desperate friends and family that tried to help, and the eventual jail time, all make for a survival story like nothing you have heard before.
CONTENT / TRIGGER WARNING: Heroin use and addiction.

Dana's episode showed us that no matter how far down into darkness we go, we can find a way out. The moment that she stopped herself from driving into a brick wall after realizing she couldn't leave her kids behind, was incredible. Her scream of desperation was a war cry to the universe to let up! And it was time to start living again. Luke and Kyle discuss...

Once again we focus on the recovery and the subject of hope and survival!! We commend our guest Dana's strength in what is one of the most powerful, emotional, raw, and tragic stories we have heard. Dana was scared and homeless at 16-year-old,  after seemingly being rejected by her family, she would rebuild her life, even through two divorces! Then, with two young kids, and things finally on track, she lost her partner in a sudden and tragic accident. Dana's story of resilience in the face of total despair is utterly extraordinary.  Thank you Dana, we are glad you are alive today!

Kyle and Luke discuss our latest episode, in which Justin's spiritual awakening was stopped in its tracks by a long, chronic, and crippling illness caused by Mold spores, an immune reaction, and lyme disease.... to name just the tip of the iceberg. These stories take real courage to share!

Justin was always seeking validation and always chasing success, through classes and courses, fitness and challenges.. All to make up for past trauma as a child. Things were just beginning to make sense through an amazing spiritual breakthrough, until he began to get sick. Mold spores in his college campus would slowly poison Justin and take him to the very bottom of darkness, unable to remember things or coordinate his body, he lost all hope. Join us for this fascinating story of a rise from the ashes when all hope was lost!!

Why do bad things happen to good people? In Marjorie's Story, we heard from a truly remarkable woman who survived a car crash but lost the use of her legs. Her positive thinking and acceptance is quite amazing. Luke and Kyle discuss Marjorie's wonderful episode.

Marjorie had set off for work, not knowing that on this day, in the blink of an eye, things would change forever. A patch of black ice would send her car into a head on collision with a truck, and leave her without the use of her legs from that moment onwards. 10 years on, Marjorie discusses that fateful day, the physical and mental highs and lows, and how she adapted to bringing up her son as a single mother, and as a paraplegic. Amazingly, Marjorie focuses on the positivity she feels, the lessons she learned, and the advice she can share with us to help anyone who is going through a tough time. Incredible and inspiring beyond all belief!

Carl was a Police Officer in the UK Police Force for 19 years. One night, on a routine call out to a domestic dispute, his life would change forever. Carl takes us through the events of that night, the PTSD that would haunt him, and his slow journey out of the darkness. An incredible story that will leave you with your mouth wide open!
