Ep245 Bullied, Broken, Addicted… BUT Justin Stephens Wasn’t Beyond Saving
4d ago00:42:46Tap to summarizeI never thought my story was worth telling. My addiction didn’t start with anything dramatic — just dabbling, partying, trying to fit in, trying to escape feelings I didn’t understand. I thought I was alone; I was different. The only one like me. I had plenty of chances to walk away, but I kept numbing myself and building an identity in the drug world. Before I knew it, I was addicted — trapped in an underground life that pulled me further from reality. What I thought I wanted became the very thing destroying me. I grew up bullied, never fitting in, so when the darkness accepted me, I embraced it. That’s when it got truly evil. I wasn’t the sweet kid my family raised anymore. I was hardened, angry, spiritually controlled by the life I chose. For almost 20 years, I lived in a battle of good versus evil, light versus darkness. These drugs don’t just take your time — they take your soul. But you can overcome it. And you don’t have to do it alone. Find your people. Find your crew. Your breakthrough is out there.

Ep244 From Addicted to Author: Jordan Doyle's Story of Fire & Redemption
2w ago00:43:56Tap to summarizeI didn’t turn to addiction because I was weak — I turned to it because I was hurting and didn’t know how else to survive. My addiction wasn’t just about substances. It was about trying to escape pain I never had the tools to understand. What started as a way to numb childhood trauma, instability, and emotional chaos slowly became survival mode. The relief didn’t last. Addiction took my peace, my relationships, my identity, and my ability to imagine a future. I lost trust in myself and lived in cycles of shame, regret, and isolation, constantly trying to outrun something living inside my own mind. My recovery began when I finally faced the truth of the damage and became willing to try something different — even when I wasn’t sure it would work. Healing has been slow and intentional: learning accountability, confronting the trauma I used to avoid, choosing support over isolation, and leaning into faith when control wasn’t possible. I’m not the same woman I was in active addiction. I’m still healing, still growing, and still learning — but today I’m building a life rooted in clarity, stability, purpose, and surrender instead of escape. In June 2025, I published my debut memoir The Girl Who Named the Fire: A Memoir of Fire, Survival, and Becoming, and my second book, A Hundred Dollar Bill and a Blue Pill: From Dope Sick to Hope Filled, is already on its way — both written to help others find hope, healing, and redemption.

Jun 2600:41:58Tap to summarizeI had everything on the outside—and was dying on the inside. For nearly seven years, I hid behind the illusion of a “white picket fence” life while my alcoholism and prescription drug abuse spiraled out of control. Even with a thriving career in finance, I was blind to the destruction building beneath the surface. My world eventually collapsed. I lost the trust of my family, my friends, and my fiancée. I battled a gambling addiction, faced an arrest, and reached a point where I no longer wanted to live. In September 2024, completely broken, I entered treatment. After a seventeen day medical detox and inpatient care, I was led to Hope IS Alive, a Christ centered sober mentoring program that changed everything. Through God’s grace, my life has been radically transformed—reuniting with my biological sister after decades apart, seeing a book published about my journey, and discovering a purpose I never imagined. Today, I serve as the Outreach Manager for Hope IS Alive, waking up every day to chase excellence and follow the path God is leading me on. If you’re struggling with addiction, hopelessness, or feeling beyond repair—my story is proof that God can redeem anything.

Ep238 Addiction Tried to Kill Me BUT God Restores- Alexis LeCroy
Jun 1900:42:31Tap to summarizeFor 12 years, I lived in addiction—IV heroin, crack, meth, fentanyl, prostitution, homelessness, and six overdoses in one year. I lost custody of my daughter, used during both pregnancies, and was surrounded by family members who used drugs with me. Synthetic marijuana nearly killed me, I was hospitalized multiple times, and a car accident and two‑week drug binge left me hopeless, anxious, and suicidal. But even when I was running from God, He never stopped pursuing me. Through overdoses, hospital rooms, and near‑death moments, His mercy kept pulling me back. Everything changed when Jesus opened my eyes to eternity and rescued me from the pit. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) Today, I worship Jesus with my children, lead others in worship, write Christian music, and share my testimony with women in addiction, young mothers, the homeless, and those trapped in prostitution. What the enemy meant for evil, God turned for good. I’m now married to a godly husband and evangelist, expecting another child, and living proof that Jesus still saves, restores, and transforms lives.
