From Heroin and Homelessness to Sober CEO | Wade’s Story
from Recovery On-Air · host The Crossroads
Wade grew up an upper middle class baseball kid in Minnesota, but after a family divorce and discovering opiates in high school, his life spiraled into heroin addiction. He lost his fiancée, cycled through treatment, detoxes, and homelessness in Arizona, and hit rock bottom both on the streets and later alone in a hotel room with money, a nice job, and everything he thought would make him happy—yet still wanting to die. In this episode of Recovery On Air with Kristen, Wade shares how God, AA, and honest recovery on his mom’s couch in 2020 led to his sobriety and his work as CEO of Plugged In Recovery, helping others find real, accessible treatment and support. His story shows that addiction is a disease, but with faith, community, and willingness, recovery is absolutely possible. #RecoveryOnAir #PluggedInRecovery #addictionrecovery #heroinrecovery #soberlife #recoveryispossible #faithandrecovery #soberCEO #mentalhealth #hopeinstead #crossroadsinc
