Matt sits down with Ambrose, a leading voice in the recovery community, for a powerful conversation tracing his journey from severe substance misuse to health, purpose, and advocacy. Ambrose candidly shares his experience with a wide range of substances - including alcohol, cannabis, ecstasy, LSD, amphetamines, benzos, and heroin - initially used to cope with social anxiety and emotional discomfort. His story unfolds through a series of devastating lows, from incarceration and relationship breakdowns to suicidal ideation, ultimately revealing the complex and layered nature of addiction. A turning point came through the power of peer support, which Ambrose credits as vital to his recovery. Now working with the Hepatitis C Trust, he channels his lived experience into education, outreach, and the national mission to eliminate hepatitis C by 2030. This episode is a testament to personal responsibility, resilience, and the transformative impact of community-led recovery.
