In this powerful episode of Got a Light?, Rich sits down with Nick, a 36-year-old father of five who has been sober for over six and a half years. Nick shares a raw and honest account of addiction, homelessness, incarceration, abandonment, trauma, and ultimately redemption.
At his lowest point, Nick was homeless, estranged from his family, separated from his children for nearly a decade, and convinced he would die as a “junkie on the streets.” He recounts sleeping behind a wall near a movie theater, covered in blood, screaming at God to either let him die or show him a way out.
What happened next changed everything.
A chance encounter with a sober friend became his “Got a Light?” moment—an act of unconditional love that opened the door to recovery, healing, and a completely different life.
Today, Nick is a devoted husband and father, regained custody of his sons after ten years apart, became a restaurant owner, mentors people in recovery, and creates employment opportunities for those rebuilding their lives after addiction and incarceration.
“Don’t give up, man. It could be tomorrow that you have a breakthrough. If I can do it, you can do it. I was the worst of the worst—a gutter drunk junkie. Look at me now.”
