Alex Cherry is a survivor. Alex is a fighter. Alex has overcome the odds. Alex was/is an addict. His journey to addiction and, ultimately, jail time is one that parents need to hear. This story is one of naivety, blind innocence and then ultimate rock bottom. Alex didn't set out on a path to end up where he did, but he ended up there anyway. He is open and brutally honest about his addiction - how he got there, the moments where he wanted to and attempted to end his own life. Why? A drug got ahold of him that slowly but surely destroyed everything around him. But I can assure you of this - this story, Alex's story, is one that shows the depths to which the human psyche and resolve can reach and come out on the other side. Not only the other side, but stronger, better and bigger than ever before. He has risen up to share his story, not just here, but directly with clients and men all over the country through his work with Default Kings, Reject Mediocrity Podcast and Newsletter and being a continued guest on multiple podcasts throughout. This episode, "Hidden Monsters - A Story of Addiction" is one I'm unbelievably proud to get to be a part of. I'm truly honored that Alex would sit down and take the time to share this with me and those of you listening to Navigating The Intentional Life. One of the most powerful episodes to date.
