I Was One of the First Kids Given Ritalin | Michael VanBeek

Send us Fan Mail What can a cage fighter, street enforcer, and one of the first children prescribed Ritalin teach us about purpose? In this episode of Never Alone Live, Michael VanBeek shares his extraordinary journey from childhood struggles and addiction to discovering purpose beyond recovery. Michael opens up about being one of the first children prescribed Ritalin in Cook County, how martial arts became his refuge, fighting professionally, collecting money for the mob, surviving years on the streets of Chicago, losing everything to addiction, and the moment he realized that sobriety wasn't the destination—it was the beginning. He also shares powerful insights on confidence, purpose, habit-building, self-protection, and why God's purpose isn't simply for us to get sober—but why His purpose requires us to be sober.
