From Heroin Needle To Sewing Needle, Giving Back Through Recovery with Jeremy Melloul, MOLT Clothing

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
If you've ever wondered if recovery is a real thing, you absolutely must hear Jeremy Melloul's incredible story of recovery and giving back. You'll hear how a young man from an ambitious immigrant family found the relief of alcohol at age 11 before traveling a long and painful journey of addiction, eventually living off of Twizzlers, peanut butter cups, and heroin. But the story doesn’t even come close to ending there.

Today, he's a social entrepreneur who founded a clothing company, MOLT, and podcast, MOLT Afflictions, that gives back to those struggling with addiction. It's a story that will give you hope, insight, and encouragement that even when all looks lost, people do get well. They can also go on to heal damaged family relationships and live incredible, full lives.

Listen in as Jeremy shares:

• why it was important that he create more than a brand with MOLT Clothing
• the connection between vulnerability and Jeremy's long term recovery
• the importance of a morning routine that Jeremy follows to ground his day
• the moment at 11 years old when he felt the impact of alcohol and what it did for him
• how OD'ing in a car wasn't his rock bottom  and his 2 white light moments 
• the distinction between being sober/dry and being in recovery
• the lifesaving community he found after a mental breakdown
• the influence of his parent's culture on his journey through substance use
• what does Jeremy think his parents might have done differently to impact his drug use
• what Jeremy would tell his 13-yer old self
• why subscribing to the disease model of addiction keeps Jeremy sober

It's a real, raw, and enlightening conversation you do not want to miss.
