How I Became an IV Drug User By 17 Years Old | Ep 83

How I Became an IV Drug User By 17 Years Old | Ep 83

In this powerful episode, host Louis and Aaron sits down with Devon Rodgers, a man whose life has taken turns so wild you’d think they were scripted.Devon’s early years looked ordinary, but everything changed when he entered foster care at a young age. He bounced from home to home, never knowing what stability really felt like. In that instability he was introduced to drugs, and during a stay in Philadelphia he first encountered opiates—a moment that would set the course for years of struggle.What started as experimentation quickly became dependence, and before long Devon was using exclusively pressed “30s” laced with fentanyl. His life became a blur of risk and chaos, full of situations so extreme they sound unbelievable. Time after time he found himself on the brink, and how he made it out alive is nothing short of miraculous.But Devon did make it out. Against all odds, he fought his way back from the edge, leaving fentanyl behind and rebuilding a life he once thought was impossible. Today he is sober, grounded, and devoted to the family he loves and cares for—a life defined by purpose instead of survival.This conversation is raw, gripping, and unforgettable. Devon opens up about foster care, addiction, and the near-death experiences that shaped him, while sharing the hope and determination that finally set him free.🔥 Expect emotion. Expect truth.
