Burned Out and Broken - How He Started Over After Methamphetamines.

In this powerful episode, Fletch sits down with his longtime friend John Ady, who just celebrated 25 years of sobriety from methamphetamines. John shares his honest and redemptive journey from addiction to recovery and what it took to Just Start.
They talk about hitting rock bottom, the people who showed up, the faith that kept him going, and the quiet decisions that changed everything. This episode is a reminder that transformation doesn’t require a master plan—just the courage to take the first step.
Whether you’re battling addiction, doubt, or inertia, this episode is a reminder that healing often starts with one brave step.
