Day One: A high schooler’s story of addiction and recovery

Let us know how we're doing, or send us an idea!Caleb’s story isn’t polished, and that’s exactly why it matters. As a high school freshman, he started vaping to fit in. What began as a way to feel cool quickly spiraled into substance abuse he couldn’t control. But this episode isn’t about rock bottom - it’s about what happens when a student finds the courage to say, “I don’t want to do this anymore,” and someone is there to listen.Told through the voices of Caleb, his mother and his school social worker, this conversation explores addiction, recovery and what it really looks like when a teenager begins to heal...not because of a punishment, but because of patience, presence and unconditional love. It’s raw, emotional and real. And it might just help someone else find their own "day one."
