My Journey Breaking Away From Drug Addiction 💯☀️

It’s been a long journey, but I’m finally getting my body and health back—honestly, better than ever. For a long time, addiction had a firm grip on me, and it derailed so many aspects of my life. At 23, I was the youngest Corporate Project Manager at Walmart, overseeing construction remodel projects. I was highly recognized—even received a birthday card from the CEO. I had a promising career in the world’s top retail company. But I couldn’t put the drugs down and didn’t fully appreciate what I had until it was gone.

That wasn’t the only downfall. I got into serious legal trouble, more than most people would imagine, and in many ways, I was running from myself. I used to live a healthy, organic lifestyle, working out every day, but I lost everything—my career, my finances, my social life, my physical and mental health.

Yet, despite all that, I don’t regret it. Not one bit. Because those experiences shaped who I am today. I wouldn’t have the mindset or awareness I now have if I hadn’t gone through those challenges. I cherish relationships more deeply, and I see the importance in things I once overlooked. It’s amazing how the world changes when you truly open your eyes.

I’ve lived a wild life, moving from city to city, immersed in the party scene, meeting countless people. I’ve learned so much about human nature, patterns, and behaviors. Today, I can read people easily, because I’ve seen and experienced so much. And the mindset I’ve gained through all of this is the one I want—clear, aware, and no longer walking through life with a veil over my eyes.

Going through a spiritual and existential crisis was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced, and I’m still working through it. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything, because now I truly see the world.
