Where Smoking Cr4ck & Shooting H3roin With My Parents Led Me Before I Graduated HS | Ep 123
from Get a Grip Podcast · host Louis Essig and Aaron Garnes
In this raw, emotional, and brutally honest episode, Aaron and Louis sit down with Landon Muncy to tell the full story of a life shaped by addiction almost from the very beginning. Landon shares how he was exposed to drugs at a young age and first used heroin at just 10 years old, setting him on a dangerous path that would follow him into adulthood. He reflects on his childhood, moving to Florida with his mom, and how normal chaos and instability quickly turned into smoking crack by 15 and shooting up for the first time at 17—long before he ever graduated high school.Landon breaks down the fast-money mindset that came with addiction, including hitting Walmart licks, stealing everything a dealer owned, and being surrounded by people printing fake money just to survive and get high. The conversation doesn’t shy away from the darker moments: gun violence, a traumatic shooting, contracting Hep C, and catching a domestic violence charge that pushed his life even further off the rails. One of the most heartbreaking moments comes when Landon opens up about his father taking his own life, and later discovering that his best friend died in jail while Landon himself was serving time in Level 2 prison.The episode ultimately turns toward accountability and redemption as Landon explains how prison became the turning point that led him to sobriety. He talks candidly about getting sober after incarceration, navigating recovery, and unlearning a lifetime of using drugs with his parents. “Where smoking crack and shooting heroin before I graduated high school led me to…” is a powerful story of consequences, loss, survival, and the fight to build a better life against overwhelming odds.🔥 Expect emotion.
