In this unforgettable episode, we sit down with Alex Aiken of Legacy Healing Centers for a raw, honest conversation about addiction, survival, and what it really takes to rebuild a life from the ground up.

Alex’s story is intense, real, and painfully relatable. From growing up loved but still lost… to heroin addiction, juvenile drug court, prison time, relapse after relapse, and ultimately a near-death medical crisis that required open-heart surgery, this episode pulls no punches.

We talk about the lies, manipulation, and chaos of active addiction. The baffling feature of knowing the consequences but being unable to stop and the moment everything changed. Alex shares what it was like waking up restrained in a hospital bed, learning his heart valve had been replaced, and realizing he had one final chance to live. From there, the story shifts to recovery done the hard way. Virtual treatment during COVID, IOP, 12-step work, sponsorship, discipline, and service. Alex opens up about rebuilding trust with his mom, finding purpose in helping others, and eventually stepping into a leadership role with a national treatment organization.

This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery, like addiction, is progressive, purpose is earned, and change is possible even when the odds say otherwise. If you or someone you love is struggling, this conversation may be the nudge that saves a life.

This is one you don't skip!
