3 Deaths. 1 Miracle. A Recovery Story You Need to Hear

Victor Reynolds shares his powerful recovery journey on the Recovery Matters Podcast. Raised in an environment of violence and addiction, he was taught to be heartless from a young age. By nine, he was on the streets, caught up in crime, substances, and chaos. Years of dust, drinking, robberies, and prison time left him broken, but also searching for meaning. His turning point came when he faced federal charges and later battled congestive heart failure while incarcerated. After multiple near-death experiences and what he describes as a divine encounter with an “angel,” Victor embraced faith and recovery. Today, he lives with humility, gratitude, and a mission to help others who are still struggling. His story is one of transformation, hope, and the belief in second chances. 00:00 – Introduction: TJ & Victor 00:21 – Growing up without emotions 00:44 – Father’s influence & gangster lifestyle 01:18 – Early street life & family struggles 02:17 – First substances: dust & drinking 02:43 – Crime, stickups, and first arrest 03:30 – Denial of addiction problems 04:00 – Prison life & getting high inside 05:00 – Feeling invincible on substances 06:05 – Father’s Day with his sons – breaking moment 07:21 – Facing federal charges & prison time 08:10 – Congestive heart failure diagnosis 09:49 – Near-death experiences & survival 13:11 – Belief in God’s protection & a new heart 15:02 – The mysterious Dr. Kennedy encounter 18:25 – Faith, recovery, and humility 19:00 – Advice for people in their first 24 hours of recovery ----Across the Web---- 🌎 CCAR Website https://www.ccar.us ✉️ Donate: https://ccar.us/donate/ 🎙Recovery Matters Podcast (Apple Music): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 🎙Recovery Matters Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/1wGUMMO... 🗣Recovery Matters Podcast TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@recoverymatterspodcast? 🗣Recovery Matters Podcast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/recoverymatterspodcast/ 🗣CCAR Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CCAR4Recovery 📸CCAR Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ccar4recovery 🐦CCAR Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccar4recovery
