A Retired Copper Thief in Recovery | Nick White | 171

Nick White joins the show to share one of the rawest recovery stories we’ve ever had: leaving home at 14, addiction, crime, and losing everything along the way. We walk through the hard truth of his past, including the choices he made to feed addiction, the consequences he faced, and the moment everything finally shifted. Support us at https://patreon.com/Creepalachia#NickWhite #RecoveryIsPossible #Creepalachia #AddictionRecovery #FaithAndRecovery #SecondChances #AppalachianStories #RealConversations #OvercomingAddiction #WVStories #EmpathyMatters #SaveALifeStatement from Nick White:“I'm not proud of the things I've done in the past to feed my horrific addiction. I didn't see a way out, so I never even imagined a better lifeI never stole anything from an honest working person. I never broke in to people's houses, or out buildings. If you were in the dope game you were just as fair game to getting robbed as I were. I'm not saying that stealing copper was the right thing to do, but we felt that it was a victimless crime. After a while it becomes an addiction.  Almost like a drug. I'm sorry for the things I done and the people I hurt. I'm trying everyday now to make amends. I can do better, I will do better. “Thank you to our Cryptid Supporters!
