    EP 171: I Saw The Devil, Then I God | Mel's Story

    In Episode 171 of Hell Has an Exit, Bryan sits down with Mel for a raw story of addiction, crime, motherhood, faith, and an unbelievable second chance. Mel’s struggles began young, eventually pulling her into IV drug use, dangerous environments, arrests, and a lifestyle completely controlled by addiction. Becoming a mother gave her something worth fighting for, but even that wasn’t enough to immediately stop the spiral. At her lowest, addiction had taken nearly everything from her, including her ability to be the mother she wanted to be. After years of arrests, criminal charges, and close calls, one moment finally changed the direction of her life. What happened next became the beginning of a completely different story. Today, Mel has rebuilt a life that once seemed impossible, finding recovery, reconnecting with her faith and family, and building a successful career in the legal world, ironically on the opposite side of a system she once knew all too well. From addiction and incarceration to motherhood, recovery, and a future she never imagined for herself, Mel’s story is proof of just how much a life can change. Learn more about your ad choices.

    EP 165: 25 Rehabs Couldn’t Save Him | Justin's Story

    Today, Teddy sits down with Justin to hear the story of an 11-year battle with drug addiction, fentanyl, IV drug use, jail, and more than 25 trips to treatment before he finally found a way out. Raised in a home shaped by addiction and chaos, Justin’s life began spiraling early. After being stabbed over $40, he was handed a combination of pills that changed the course of his life. What followed was more than a decade of Xanax, cocaine, crack, fentanyl, IV drug use, arrests, treatment centers, and watching friends die around him. Justin opens up about the real story behind his face tattoos, surviving the height of the fentanyl epidemic, the arrest that finally forced him to face himself, and why recovery only worked when he stopped doing it for everyone else. He also shares the heartbreaking story of his relationship with his father. After years of anger and resentment, his father developed Alzheimer’s and began forgetting who Justin was. Now, every time they see each other, Justin gets to tell him he’s clean all over again. This is a story about addiction, resentment, forgiveness, purpose, and what can happen when someone everyone gave up on finally decides to become the man he knew he could be. Hell Has an Exit.
