I Was Addicted To Meth & Homeless At 17

In episode 61 of F The Stigma Podcast, host Laisha Martinez sits down with Connager Parks to discuss his incredible journey through mental health struggles, addiction, homelessness, and recovery. Born with a deformity caused by abuse his mother endured during pregnancy, Connager shares how childhood trauma, his father's battle with addiction, and his own meth addiction led him to homelessness at just 17 years old. After getting sober at 22, he completely changed the trajectory of his life and found purpose in recovery.
