Surviving Foster Care, Meth & Witchcraft | James' Recovery Story

James shares his journey through foster care, childhood abuse, meth addiction, psychosis, witchcraft, and recovery. After enduring years of neglect and abuse, he turned to drugs in an attempt to numb the pain. His search for belonging eventually led him into meth addiction and occult practices before finding a path toward healing and purpose. This episode explores the lasting impact of childhood trauma, the realities of addiction, spirituality, and the hope that recovery is possible—even after surviving experiences no child should have to endure. ==================== Help support this channel by becoming a paid member and get early access to our content:    / @hardknoxtalkspodcast   ==================== Hard Knox Talks https://hardknoxtalks.com Instagram   / hardknoxtalks   TikTok   / hardknoxtalks   Facebook   / hardknoxtalkspodcast   Parenting in the Storm https://www.hardknoxtalks.com/parenti...
