Terry found himself disillusioned with the life of drugs and crime he was living. Upon realizing the meaning of life was love, he began the work of change and the transformation into the heart of his community.

Following the last interview with his daughter Candace, Charles came back to discuss some subjects he felt worth expanding upon. In today's podcast, you'll hear him touch on the things and pursuits that helped sustain his recovery, including suboxone.

Charles and his daughter Candace discuss his struggles with addiction and mental health. They explore how his experiences were intergenerational and how, through courage and love, he become an inspiration to his community. (*Source for Epigenetic Trauma - National Institute of Health)

Shyrah is a good friend and inspiration to me. In this episode she shares her profound journey from crazy addiction to a spiritual recovery including an account of her "white light" experience.

Ernie is a vibrant part of the recovery community in Vancouver, Washington. He offers much experience and wisdom on what it takes to triumph over trauma and addiction. I hope you enjoy our discussion as much as I did.
