What began as drinking escalated into drug use, selling drugs, and eventually jail and prison time. His life spiraled fast, and the consequences were real.\nSobriety became the turning point.\nThrough recovery, accountability, and deep inner work, Meech rebuilt his life from the ground up. Today, he’s sober and working as a counselor, helping others who are trapped in the same cycles he once lived in.\nThis is a raw, honest conversation about addiction, identity, shame, redemption, and what it really takes to change. Meech’s story is proof that no matter how far you fall, recovery is possible—and purpose can grow from pain."}
