Jamie has returned to Broadway Lodge, clean and sober, to record this powerful episode in which he candidly shares his journey of addiction and prison sentences and how a six-month stay at Broadway Lodge marked the beginning of a profound personal transformation. He reflects on how he struggled to live life as others seemed to, favouring the structure that jail gave him.
Jamie opens up about his early life and the emergence of addictive behaviours that eventually led to his dependence on crack cocaine and heroin. He also speaks about why he ended up in prison for so many years and how the therapeutic treatment at Broadway Lodge has enabled him to turn his life around.
The changes Jamie has made during and since his treatment have been remarkable. Not only is he thriving in recovery and helping others, but his family is also experiencing the positive impact of his transformation. We are deeply grateful to Jamie for sharing his story with such honesty and courage, offering hope and inspiration to those who may be struggling with addiction themselves, demonstrating that an enjoyable life clean from drugs after active addiction, really is possible.
