A Heroin Addict’s Brutal Life in Kensington | Jail Withdrawals, My Mom Taught Me to Shoot, Sobriety

Dave Marquess grew up in chaos—raised by addict parents, hustling for survival as a child, and spiraling into drugs by his early teens. By his twenties, Dave was deep in PCP, oxy, heroin, and cocaine, running the streets of Kensington, in and out of jail, and living in full-blown addiction and psychosis. In this raw conversation, Dave opens up about: Growing up with parents addicted to meth and heroin Juvenile detention at 14 and fighting authority at every turn Smoking PCP before school and getting expelled Selling drugs, escort driving, and total moral collapse Calling his own mother to learn how to shoot heroin Experiencing brutal jail withdrawals that nearly killed him The exact moment he said “I’m done”—and meant it Today, Dave is nearly 10 years sober, living with purpose, creativity, and service. He’s the creator of the recovery-based card game Relapse or Recovery, designed to help people connect, reflect, and heal in sobriety. This episode is for anyone who thinks they’re too far gone. Dave proves that no matter how dark it gets—recovery is possible. #AddictionRecovery #HeroinAddiction #Kensington #RecoveryIsPossible #JailToRecovery #OpiateEpidemic #SobrietyJourney #FromAddictionToRecovery #CleanAndSober #RecoveryPodcast #MentalHealthMatters #12StepRecovery #TraumaHealing #LifeAfterAddiction #RiseAbove #RecoveryStories #HopeAfterAddiction Learn more about your ad choices.
