I Was a U.S. Soldier - Then a $900-a-Day Drug Habit Nearly Killed Me | Victor Woods

Victor Woods opens up about his journey from a promising young man with dreams of becoming a lawyer to a U.S. soldier battling a $900-a-day drug habit that nearly took his life. Raised by a single mother and facing periods of homelessness, Victor found discipline and direction in the military — but the trauma of deployment and the chaos of life after service sent him down a dangerous path. In this interview, Victor shares what he witnessed during his time in Afghanistan, how addiction took control, and the near-fatal car crash that became his turning point. Today, he's a devoted husband, father, and firefighter — living proof that redemption is always possible. #USArmy #AddictionRecovery #DrugAddictionStory #VeteranLife #RedemptionStory #MotivationalPodcast #SurvivingAddiction #LockedInPodcast Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Grab your Locked In Merch Here: https://shop.ianbick.com Timestamps:
