Addicted, Alone, and Angry — Until One Prayer Changed Everything
with Curtis
Curtis found drugs at 14 after growing up in an abusive home where yelling and violence were normal. Marijuana. Alcohol. Anything to take the edge off the anger and loneliness. He failed out of school and ended up in rehab during his senior year. A woman in treatment wouldn't quit on him. He cussed at her. Locked her out of his room. She didn't flinch. August 17, 1997 he walked into an Assemblies of God church in Pittsburgh and had a real encounter with the presence of God.
About the Podcast
Rebuilding Life After Addiction is a weekly conversation for anyone walking the long road of recovery, and for the families walking it with them.
Hosted by Justin Franich and Robert Grant, two guys with over 40 years of combined recovery between them. Justin is a former meth addict who went through Teen Challenge in 2005, spent nearly two decades in recovery ministry leadership, and now helps families navigate addiction through content, referrals, and real talk. Robert served 18 years in prison before finding freedom through faith-based recovery. Today he leads family support calls at Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge and brings a perspective that only comes from living it.
Each episode features honest conversations about faith, identity, and what it actually looks like to stay free. Not surface-level recovery talk. Not religious platitudes. Real stories from real people who've been in the pit and climbed out.
Whether you're rebuilding your own life, loving someone who is, or serving in ministry, this podcast is for you.
