    EP 2: When the craving wasn't the drug

    In this episode, I dive into the early years of my life — the years where I didn’t care about my future, chased the wrong crowds, and fed an addictive personality I didn’t even understand yet. I thought I was living fast… but all I was really doing was running straight towards the edge. At 34, that path nearly took my life. I’m sharing this because someone younger than me needs to hear it. If any part of my story sounds like you — stop now. Change direction. Don’t test how far you can go. That road only ends one way, and you’re worth more than that.”

    Hi, I’m Sam Luke. I’ve lived a life most wouldn’t believe—battling addiction, crime, prison, and the care system. At the end of last year, I came dangerously close to losing everything, including my life. But I’m in recovery now, and I’ve found something I never thought I would—my voice. In this first episode, I share why I decided to start this podcast. In treatment, someone told me my story could be a documentary. At first, I didn’t think much of it—but scrolling through social media, I realised there weren’t many people truly using their voice to share recovery journeys. I thought, why not me? “Rise & Recover” is about hope, resilience, and showing that it’s possible to turn your life around. I want to inspire others to raise their voice, find a way out, and see that recovery is real. This podcast is raw, honest, and positive—a space to share, learn, and grow.
