But after he assaulted a prison guard, he ended up in one of Australia's toughest jails - Goulburn Correctional Centre. While Claude was inside, his father died, and he found out that he had inherited $60,000.It was a chance to start a new life when he got out of prison. But instead, he and a girlfriend checked into a hotel in Kings Cross and bought some backs of heroin. Within weeks, all of Claude's inheritance was gone.In 2006, Claude was back in prison when he decided to finally change his story. He got off drugs, went to TAFE, and started working his way back to Rainbow Lodge, where he helps men who have walked a similar path to his own.Help and support is always available: The National Alcohol & Other Drug Hotline is a free and confidential 24/7 phone service that provides counselling, advice, and information for those struggling with addiction.

Former heroin addict Holly Deane-Johns was locked up in a Thai prison for 7.5 years over drug charges. She couldn't see the hard concrete floor of the crowded cell she shared with hundreds of women, she had a 22 centimetre floor space to sleep on, she had a rotting tooth pulled out by an inmate, she was sick from the food, and she also shared 10 filthy toilets with 2000 women. This was Holly's Hell.   Get episodes of I Catch Killers a week early and ad-free, as well as bonus content, by subscribing to Crime X+ today. Like the show?

When Holly Deane-Johns was 11, she worked for her mum's escort business answering phones. By the age of 14, she'd had her first hit of heroin in her bedroom with her mum. From that moment she was hooked. What followed was years of cooking the drug, dealing and using - as well as a stint in jail. But nothing could stop her getting her next hit. Not even attending her heroin addicted mother's funeral in handcuffs.    Get episodes of I Catch Killers a week early and ad-free, as well as bonus content, by subscribing to Crime X+ today.

In this awe-inspiring episode, we delve into the remarkable life of Laura Ann Heaton Gray—a woman whose journey from a traumatic past to a triumphant present serves as a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of transformation. Join us as we uncover the remarkable story of how Laura Ann overcame adversity to become a beacon of hope and accomplishment in the world of entertainment. Laura's early life was marked by heartache and abuse, starting with a challenging beginning that saw her born to a heroin-addicted mother. Despite her tumultuous start, she was later adopted by parents who were unfortunately not the refuge she needed. Laura faced abuse at the hands of both her biological and adoptive parents, which left her feeling alone and abandoned. Amidst these struggles, Laura's journey took a significant turn when she met an older abusive boyfriend at the age of 17. Seeking solace, she found herself in a relationship that only deepened her pain. A pivotal moment came when she became pregnant and was coerced into an unimaginable decision. Broken but determined, Laura found a new path by joining Disney's Broadway tour of Beauty and the Beast—a step that would lead her toward healing and transformation. Years later, Laura's path led her to reconcile with her adoptive father and discover her passion for film. With the guidance of a remarkable mentor, she ventured into the world of filmmaking, founding Excelsior Entertainment—a testament to her dedication to quality, family-friendly content. Her talent and commitment earned her recognition, including the prestigious Filmmaker of the Year nomination with the International Christian Film Festival. Laura's journey from a place of pain and abuse to one of accomplishment and faith is a true redemption story. Her resilience and unwavering trust in God allowed her to find healing and purpose, ultimately shaping her into the inspirational figure she is today. She now resides in Alabama with her husband and children, a living example of how God's grace can turn a life around. Join us as we explore Laura Ann's journey—a narrative that reminds us that even in the face of the darkest challenges, redemption, healing, and triumph is possible. Her story is a beacon of hope, a testament to the transformative power of faith, and a reminder that the past does not define our future.

A deep dive into the life of William S. Burroughs based on a close reading of Ted Morgan's 1988 biography, Literary Outlaw: The Life and Times of William S. Burroughs. Burroughs is one of the most independent creative spirits of the 20th century. My goal is to understand how he did it; how he remained so free but was also so influential and successful.I discuss his transformation from a heroin addict living off his parents' allowance to an internationally acclaimed writer, who was inducted into the Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters in 1983. Hear about his unique brand of conservative anarchism, his significant influence on the counterculture of the '60s and '70s, his parenting, and the social-psychological correlates of his creative freedom.Burroughs was a blend of the Yankee inventor and the fire-and-brimstone Methodist preacher. We explore his grandfather's invention of the arithmometer and his uncle Ivy Lee's career as a public relations expert. These stories shed light on the roots of Burroughs' radical literary career, which combined a penchant for invention with a desire to go his own way and attack the respectable order of things.I also discuss Burroughs' late entry into writing and his experiences as a heroin user and a criminal, which taught him a lot about how the world works. I explore his failed attempt to build a commercial farm, his theory of 'factualism', which anticipates Nick Land and Deleuze, and much more.What did you think of this format, dedicated to a close reading of a great writer's biography? I'd love to hear from you.Chapters 00:00 William S Burroughs' Unconventional Life 06:30 Burroughs' Complex Heritage 16:55 Burroughs' Late Blooming 30:40 The Critical Importance of Small Private Friend Groups 43:49 Lessons From Burroughs' Life 50:25 What Wild Looks Like: An Anecdote 59:08 Did Burroughs Murder his Wife? 07:35 The Controversial Success of Burroughs' Novels 15:27 More Lessons From the Life of Burroughs Other Life✦ Quit your passive media consumption and read great books every day. https://otherlife.co✦ Get the bi-annual print edition and other perks by becoming a dues-paying member. https://otherlife.co/upgradeIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on your own writing, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org

​​Today's guest is Khalil Rafati, the founder of the renowned smoothie bar and juice chain Sunlife Organics. He possesses one of the most insane and inspiring recovery stories I have ever encountered. In Khalil's darkest moments, he found himself hopeless and homeless on Skid Row in LA. Miraculously, he managed to crawl his way out of that difficult situation, seek treatment, and ultimately find sobriety. Through the relentless pursuit of personal growth, finding purpose, and self-discovery, Khalil has attained nearly two decades of sobriety and is living the life of his dreams. However, his recovery journey has not always been easy, marked by numerous ups and downs that we delve into deeply today. We explore Khalil's gripping story, tracing his path from homelessness on Skid Row to achieving long-term sobriety. We also dive into the challenges of early sobriety and how Khalil's responsibility of caring for his dying mother provided the necessary focus for his recovery. Khalil shares why he believes being an addict is a superpower and credits it for his ability to build the empire of Sunlife Organics without any formal education or experience. Furthermore, we discuss his healing journey, including how he transformed his relationship with external validation and fame and much more!

Hey, all you young (and not-so-young) dudes. electric warriors, starmen, and foxes on the run!  If UK glam rock is your bag, then you'll definitely want to feel this noize and get it on with these 20th century boys.  Put on your electric boots and mohair suits because it's, it's a podcast blitz! Translation for the squares out there: we're talking about our Top 5 UK Glam & Glitter songs this week.  While it just made a minor splash in the US underground with bands like New York Dolls. glam rock was THE sound of young Britain in the early-to-mid '70s.  A punchy mix of amped-up rock n' roll energy, anthemic pop hooks, teenage angst, and a flair for outlandish, flamboyant theatrics, glam ushered in a new era of pop stars who challenged gender stereotypes and brought a sense of fun and excitement back to a rock landscape that was beginning to take itself far too seriously.  Artists such as David Bowie, T.Rex, Slade, Sweet, and...uh...Mud became household names and fixtures on the pop charts and TV screens. One of the bands who carried the influence of glam into the '80s was Southern California's The Joneses, led by singer/songwriter/guitarist...and Third Lad this week, Jeff Drake.  Formed in 1981, The Joneses synthesized glam, garage punk, '50s rock n' roll, Stonesy swagger, rockabilly and country & western and became one of the biggest drawing bands in the LA and Orange County areas.  Their electrifying performances earned them a rapturous following and a nod as the "Best Live Band" in a 1984 LA Weekly readers poll.  They sang about drugs, booze, sex and criminals, but also had the lifestyle to back it up - leading to Drake's battle with heroin addiction and federal imprisonment for bank robbery.  Now, JD bears all with his unflinchingly honest memoir, Guilty! My Life As A Member of The Joneses, A Heroin Addict, A Bank Robber and A Federal Inmate, out now from HoZac Books.   Aside from the normal fun we have, this is a wild tale of rock n' roll and redemption that you do not want to miss!

On Today's Zero Limits Podcast we have a chat with Kyle Schmidt former US Police Officer, Crew Chief and Door Gunner US Army Afghanistan Veteran. However after sustaining a injury whilst serving as a Police Officer, Kyle was prescribed oxycotine by a physician to assist with pain management however Kyle unknowingly grew an addiction to the drug. Once Identified his physician restricted the prescription which led to Kyle finding an alternate source due to the substance addiction. This alternate source was heroin. Whilst serving as a police officer Kyle was continually under the influence of both the legal and illegal substance. He then deployed to Afghanistan on 3 separate occasions with the US Military as a Helo Crew Chief and Door Gunner. During these deployments he would go cold turkey off the substances and once returning back to the US post deployment he would return to the substance abuse. This carried on for a couple years before he landed a job with the paramilitary branch of the CIA. He found himself back in Afghanistan as a contractor which subsequently led to him being charged with treason whilst in country. Listen in for the full story! Let's Go!

Well obviously my name is Josh. Basically in a nutshell as it were I was a careered musician and was very successful in many capacities. I once owned a recording studio with Gordon Raphael (producer of the strokes & Regina Spektor) after getting my own record deal I worked on my debut album with Anthony Braun Perry and Scott Montoya (both from the band the growlers) and was well on my way. I have met and worked with many successful musicians and others in the entertainment business for years, and had built up quite a catalogue of gear and equipment along with a nice shiny resume. I had a house a supportive girlfriend who actually quit her job to work with me on my career full time because she believed in mine that much. I had custody of my autistic and diabetic son from a previous relationship. Life was good then I gave it all away for one small yet very big thing. That thing was so elusive and so deceitful. It was so romantic looking and yet so insidious. That thing was heroin. I've dabbled in drugs and alcohol for a long time and they sunk their teeth into my life long ago but I was always able to go dry for a while so I thought I had it under control. Through everything I've lost and all the problems I've gained it all changed October 1st, 2021. You see after a few jail stints and a prison sentence I basically just resigned myself to drugs and thought ok music is over so I'll become a full-fledged criminal. But this last year I got in trouble once again with the law and to my surprise instead of sending me back to prison they gave me probation and when I screwed that up I thought surely they'll send me back now but they didn't; they gave me a corrections based treatment program. When I left there I relapsed once again while living with my brother and ended up getting into a huge fight with him about who was the better addict. My brother had his own demons but in his mind he was ok because he was still living in his own place with a job and a car. So he kicked me out after the fight and that was the last I ever spoke to him. I feel very fortunate indeed but it came with a price and with consequences. Sadly my brother passed away from drugs a few months ago as did my ex girlfriend so those things and a few other things blessed me with the gift of desperation. But I'll tell you, through my brother's death I was able to be reborn. On September 31st, 2021 I was parked in a car I had borrowed from a friend while he was doing some time in jail and I tried to shoot myself in the head not long after I found out about my brother. However, before I could get the gun against my temple it randomly went off right before I got it in the place I wanted. So I had just done a bunch of heroin and from the adrenaline shock and the last bit of drugs; I fell asleep and woke up to cops knocking on the window of the car I was in. They found me with a gun, drugs and all sorts of other illegal things. They should have taken me back to jail then prison, as I'm already on probation. They were about to, when all of a sudden the police officer asked me what I was doing with the gun and I told him. So he doesn't say much and we get in the car and I assume I'm going back to jail to finish my sentence and we pull up to this building I've never seen and I say where are we? He says I'm bringing you here to detox because I don't think you need jail or prison again. You have quite a rap sheet and it won't fix you to go back. I think you need help, so do yourself a favor and get it. That was my higher power working in my life and I felt it for the first time in a long time. That was October 1st, 2021 and I've been sober ever since. I go to meetings; reach out to people; and help wherever I can; and I work a 12 step program.  I honestly wish I would have started a long time ago because it's the best thing I've ever done aside from having my son. So yeah! My recovery comes first as does my program. I surrendered myself to a higher power and realized my life was unmanageable and that I desperately needed and wanted a change. Now I'm learning to love myself again and I started some projects but I'm focusing on helping other bands again but I also help other addicts. My story could be so much longer but this is as I said in a nutshell!

Jeff Drake is the singer and guitarist for The Joneses, which he co-founded with skateboard champion Steve Olson in 1981. Their glam punk sound- thrashy, trashy rock'n'roll that owed as much to The Ramones and New York Dolls as it did the Rolling Stones- made them the darlings of the early 1980's LA underground music scene. They put out a single in 1982 and were featured on the compilation “Hell Comes To Your House Part Two” in 1983, which lead to national touring. Then everything came crashing down when Jeff robbed a bank to feed his  heroin habit.In this episode, hostess Pleasant Gehman and Jeff talk about wild parties and gigs in 1980's Hollywood, being stranded in Amish Country while on tour and the lesbian drug lord couple who contributed to his downfall. They also chat about Jeff's career resurrection. The label Projectile Platters is releasing the entire recorded Joneses' repertoire as a three volume set. Concurrently, his memoir “Guilty: My Life As A Member Of The Joneses, Heroin Addict, Bank Robber And Federal Inmate” is forthcoming from Hozac Press. Jeff's life- and this episode- is almost too wild to believe...but as the saying goes, “You can't make this shit up”.www.pleasantgehman.comInstagram: @princessofhollywoodwww.facebook.com/pleasant.gehmanwww.twitter.com/PleasantGehman1This show is part of Pantheon Podcasts

Mike started drinking in the 9th grade and didn't stop until he was a 50 year old addict living on the streets of San Francisco. But today he is a changed man. He has 7 years clean and sober, he's married, and he's going to be the drug and alcohol director for Street Life's new Homeless to Healthy Rehab program. If you would like to help us launch this rehab program, go to: www.streetlifeministries.org/homeless-to-healthy

Being brought up in Michigan in the ‘70s, Mike Gordon found himself with an identity crisis.  Coming from a nonreligious home and no Christian training, he entered a life of rebellion and drug use.  By the time he was 24 years old, he was a full-on heroin addict and criminal.  In today's podcast, Ken Pounders and Mike discuss what his life was like before Jesus took away his addiction and gave him a whole new way of life. The Conquer Addiction Podcast is designed to deliver real, Scriptural, and time-tested solutions for those struggling with addiction and those who are trying to help them.   Not having a sense of identity, Mike embarked upon the lifestyle of a peace, love, and joy hippie.  The revolving doors of methadone clinics, psychiatrists, and detoxes had convinced him that a drug addict was who he was.  His relationships destroyed and out of hope, Mike knew life wasn't supposed to be like this.   When his heartbroken mom found a needle and a spoon in the bathroom, he was faced with the question, “Mike, what are you gonna do?”  That was the beginning of a changed life for Mike.   Listen along and hear how Jesus made a difference in the life of this hopeless addict.   Quotes and Scriptures to Remember   Proverbs 3:5,6  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.   1 Peter 5:7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.   “Until you go all-in, you're not gonna get all God has for you.”—Mike Gordon   “When you get real with God, He'll get real with you.”—Ken Pounders   “There is no other answer but Jesus.”—Mike Gordon   “We make addiction a whole different thing in our society when what everyone of us needs is victory in life, and Jesus brings victory.  No matter what your besetting sin is, or your struggle is, Jesus wants to bring victory to you.”—Ken Pounders   Connect with Us   Website: https://omainc.org Email: OMADirector2017@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/165704310121828/ Website: https://priorityev.info Instagram: instagram.com/bro_ken Outreach Ministries of Alabama, Inc., PO Box 98 Valhermoso Springs, AL  35775 Phone:  256-778-8096   Links   Faith Chapel church: https://www.faithchapelhuntsville.com/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/faithchapelhuntsville/   Please share Conquer Addiction with your friends.  Please subscribe, rate, and review through Apple Podcasts, CPN Shows, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

A tireless advocate for long-term recovery, Tim Ryan is no stranger to addiction. Despite a successful business career, Tim found himself in the grips of heroin and, ultimately, was sentenced to seven years in prison for drug-related convictions. Tim got clean and sober behind bars.Six months after his release, tragedy struck. His son, Nick – for whom Tim had paved the way to use deadly drugs – died tragically from an overdose. Reaching beyond the devastation and heartbreak, Tim used Nick's death as the inspiration to spread hope, believing that if even one addict or family could be spared the horrors of addiction, he would make a difference.As a result, he founded A Man in Recovery Foundation, a nonprofit that helps anyone find treatment and recovery.Today, Tim is the subject of the new A&E documentary, Dope Man, reaching millions. He has been a featured thought leader in numerous national media, including USA Today, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune, and “The Steve Harvey Show with Dr. Drew,” and dozens of nationally syndicated radio shows. He was an invited guest to the 2016 State of the Union Address. He is the author of the bestselling book, From Dope to Hope and the National Outreach Director for Transformations Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center.Tim's message is inspiring because he has walked the journey of addiction and recovery. He spreads hope and tools to those who need them most."If you're going to do heroin you have two choices, you will get sober or you're going to die. You might pass through jail in the interim, but those are your only two choices.

Join me on a new episode of The Rookie AmeRican Podcast as I speak with special guest Reverend Steven Craft about his wild testimony from heroin addict to conservative nation wide preacher! His history is not only mind blowing, but we get and exclusive sneak peek into his heart to spread the truth about the corruption within the textbooks our children bring home from school. He will bring you hope in a time where we seldom see it.

Behind closed doors, millions of people abuse opioids. Nicholas Bush was one of them. In this beautifully raw and refreshingly honest memoir, Bush boldly allows readers into his addiction-ravaged community. We see how heroin nearly claimed his life on multiple occasions, how it stole the lives of his young siblings and friends, and how it continues to wage a deadly toll on American neighborhoods—claiming thousands of lives and decreasing the average lifespan. But we also see that there is a way off of the devastating rollercoaster of opioid addiction, even for the most afflicted. Nicholas fights for recovery, claws his way out of a criminal livelihood, and finds his footing with faith and family, providing Americans with the inspirational story that is deeply needed today.

Heroin as we know is one of the most addictive substances- it generally chews up and spits out its users taking away any chance of living a purposeful life. Kelly reached out to me, she is ready to share her story. She is a high functioning addict, with children, a big corporate job and a house. Kelly's addiction has dominated her life for over 20 years. The secrets, the betrayals, the loneliness- why does she do it? And will she ever stop? Please note her name has been changed for privacy reasons.Content warning: This episode deals with drug addiction.

I interview Vincent Ruiz, a veteran who has had one heck of a ride.  From dying a couple times, due to an overdose, to his current mission of helping other humans work through their trauma.  Vince's mind is jam packed with psychological know-how; and, he knows how to articulate in a way we can all understand.  I salute you Vince.  Your courage, dedication and disciplined approach is inspiring and refreshing.   

This interview is with Connor Miller, 26 years old. He was a heroin addict who got clean from drugs four years ago and since then, he has not looked back. He co-founded a 50 million dollar logistics business with his father and now he is in the process of teaching himself how to be a filmmaker. He's been a successful entrepreneur and has a great method for approaching sobriety - be on the offense, rather than the defense.
