Surviving Ice, Crime and Chaos: Tom’s Second Chance | Tom de Souza

In this powerful episode, Adam reunites with Tom De Souza, a young man he first met a decade ago while documenting Tom’s descent into methamphetamine addiction in the podcast Meth Destruction. Tom was just 13 when he spiralled from scholarship student to juvenile detention, drug use and violent crime. Now 30, Tom has found sobriety, purpose, and a sense of home within himself. He’s travelled the world, become a journalist, and is directing a feature documentary — The Long Road Home — exploring identity, redemption and his journey across Indonesia by motorbike. In a raw and deeply moving conversation, Adam and Tom reflect on the moments that saved him, the ones that nearly destroyed him, and the friendships that shaped both paths.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
