In this harrowing, true-life substance abuse recovery story, former drug addict Jarryd Smith - once addicted to tik (meth), heroin, buttons (mandrax) and alcohol (to name a few) - shares with Clare Wiese-Wentzel how he went from being a talented rugby player from a privileged background, to working in an escort agency, recruiting prostitutes, being arrested 7 times and hanging out with dangerous gangsters and - eventually - sleeping homeless in a taxi rank in Somerset-West. Jarryd even sank so low at one stage that he sold his own body for drug money.

Jarryd shares his experience with ADHD and drug abuse as well as ADHD and addiction in general, what it was like at Serenity Rehab Sedgefield, what kind of addiction treatment he received and what his journey to wellness eventually looked like.

This triumph over substance abuse disorder is a motivational video about the human spirit and the innate ability we all have to rise from the ashes, despite how dark and helpless things might seem. There is always light at the end of the tunnel and, in this episode, Jarryd shares with us how & where he found it after eight years of hard-core drug addiction.

Today, Jarryd is an international motivational speaker who speaks to schoolchildren, under the auspices of the Second Chance Trust, about peer pressure, his addiction recovery story, addiction treatment, bullying, mental health, alcohol and drug abuse.
