    #31 - He Was a Heroin Addict for 25 Years… Now He Helps Others Recover
    Sep 21 2026
    Shawn Espinoza is serving 32 years to life. In this episode of Between the Lines, Shawn opens up about growing up in Long Beach, feeling abandoned as a teenager, running away from home, joining a street gang, and searching for the love and validation he felt he was missing. For years, Shawn says that validation came from the streets, gangs, drugs, and prison. He was addicted to heroin for 25 years. Shawn says his life began to change four years ago when he got sober in prison. After hearing his mother’s voice in his head telling him to get off drugs and focus, he started going to recovery groups, surrounded himself with people in the program, and began rebuilding his life one day at a time. Today, Shawn is a state-certified substance abuse disorder counselor and relapse prevention specialist. He says sobriety changed everything — his mindset, his faith, his relationships, his purpose, and the way he sees freedom. In this interview, Shawn also shares how becoming a husband and stepfather gave him a new sense of responsibility and purpose. He talks about remorse, the impact of violence on families, the loss of his own brother, and the moment he finally understood the ripple effect of his actions. Now, Shawn says he wants to use his story to help others before they make the same mistakes. His dream is to build Redeemed Recovery, a nonprofit focused on mentoring youth, supporting recovery, and helping people find a better path. This is a story about addiction, gang life, prison, sobriety, fatherhood, faith, redemption, and the power of a second chance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
