Ep32: From Homeless to Hopeful - The Story of Matthew Handy

Homeless in downtown San Diego. Daily use of eight different drugs. Multiple arrests. A bank robbery. And now… recovery.In Episode 32 of Strong and Sober, we sit down with Matthew Handy for one of the most raw conversations we’ve had. He opens up about heroin addiction, living on the streets during COVID, surviving chaos, and the moment he says he “fell out of love” with heroin. We talk about multiple recovery attempts, the role of physical transformation in his sobriety, why he believes everyone can benefit from the 12 steps, and how peer support changed everything.Matthew also hosts his own podcast, My Last Relapse, where he continues to share honest conversations about addiction and recovery.This episode isn’t polished. It’s real. And it’s a powerful reminder that rock bottom doesn’t have to be the end.If you haven't already please rate and subscribe to the show.Follow @StrongandSoberPodcast on InstagramSend questions, comments, success stories or requests to be a guest on the show to [email protected] episodes weekly on Spotify and Apple Podcasts
