Darren Prince: The Bottom is The Beginning | The Hopeaholics Podcast Dive into an unforgettable episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast featuring Darren Prince, a legendary sports and celebrity agent who has represented icons like Magic Johnson, Hulk Hogan, Pamela Anderson, and the late Muhammad Ali, and the international best-selling author of Aiming High. In this powerful conversation, Darren lays bare his grueling battle with opioid addiction, revealing the raw, heart-wrenching moments that defined his path to 16 years of sobriety, including his desperate plea to God for freedom from the hell of addiction and the soul-shattering realization that his glamorous, high-flying life masked a profound inner emptiness. From his teenage introduction to liquid Demerol at sleepaway camp, which sparked a decades-long struggle, to orchestrating the historic Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier reconciliation and founding the Aiming High Foundation to support addiction recovery, Darren’s journey is a masterclass in resilience and redemption. His story resonates with high-functioning addicts, teens grappling with self-esteem, and anyone seeking hope amidst despair, showcasing how vulnerability and service can transform lives. #thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover  Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record’, exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics  Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials: https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics  https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholics Buy Merch:  https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.com Visit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.com If you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.
