Manage episode 507393972 series 3344588
Riley’s story takes us deep into the world of addiction, drug trafficking, paranoia, and ultimately recovery. From selling weed as a teenager to moving pounds of drugs through the Dark Web, Riley lived like his life was a movie—until the money, power, and paranoia consumed him. After near misses with law enforcement, psychosis, and losing everything, he found recovery, reconnected with family, and built a life in service to others.
=================
Key Learning Points:
- How early insecurity and bullying can fuel addiction pathways
- The progression from casual use to large-scale trafficking
- The lure of ego, money, and status in the drug trade
- How paranoia and psychosis destroy quality of life
- The role of family reconnection, treatment, and higher power in recovery
- Giving back as part of long-term healing
