Garet grew up in Santa Monica with no education, no voice, and nowhere to put the anger. So he did what addicts do best — he silenced it with drugs and alcohol. What followed was a nightmare most people don't survive: shooting heroin, years living on the streets, and landing on a Level 4 prison yard, one of the most dangerous places in the California prison system.
In this raw, unfiltered episode of Nothing's Off the Table, Garet takes us through his last day using, his worst day behind bars, and the moment everything finally changed. Today, he's 13 years sober, a father, and living proof that no one is too far gone.
We talk about:
* Growing up in silence and how anger fuels addiction
* Life on the streets of Santa Monica
* Shooting dope — "the worst thing, but the best feeling"
* Surviving a Level 4 prison yard
* Making amends and rebuilding a life
* His #1 piece of advice for anyone still sick and suffering
