In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, we sit down with our close friend and coworker, Shermain, who shares how he went from the streets of Memphis—deep in gang life and heroin addiction—to now celebrating over 5 years of sobriety.

Charmaine opens up about:

Growing up in poverty and addiction
His darkest moments alone in a hotel room
What finally got him clean after years of relapse
Why surrendering to the program saved his life

His story is raw, real, and proof that recovery is possible for anyone—no matter how far gone they feel.
