Addicted at 11: Crack Took Everything From Me | Robbing Dealers, Prison & Finding Sobriety
Chris Stroud started using drugs at just 11 years old… and by 17, he was hooked on crack cocaine.
What followed was decades of chaos — robbing drug dealers, running from gangs, getting arrested, and eventually facing federal prison.
From living a double life to losing everything, Chris takes us inside the brutal reality of addiction and the moments that nearly cost him his life.
After years of destruction, something finally changed… and today he’s over 4 years sober, working in recovery and helping others find a way out.
If you’re struggling, this episode is proof that no matter how far gone you feel… there’s still a way back.
