Show Notes
What does healing look like when you begin from rock bottom? In this episode of Addiction Uncovered, Paul Weishapl shares how addiction consumed most of his adult life — and how prison unexpectedly became the place where he found sobriety, mindfulness, purpose, and a sense of identity beyond his past.
Today, Paul teaches harm reduction strategies and compassion-centered care for people who use drugs. His story is a rare and powerful look at hope inside and outside the prison system.
