A narcissistic, abusive father. Sexual abuse at 7 years old. Bullying. Codependency. Addiction to validation. By 14, he was faking his own death on MySpace, getting 5150’d into a psych ward, drinking Jack Daniel’s daily, and chasing ecstasy just to feel normal. By his 20s, he was smoking meth, having 3–5 grand mal seizures a day, overdosing on pills, blacking out on cruises, and attempting suicide more than once. He says alcohol saved his life before it nearly killed him. But that wasn’t even the end. In sobriety, he faced betrayal, family deaths, brain aneurysms, EMDR trauma breakthroughs, and a collapse that almost took him out at six years clean. This is a raw conversation about sexual abuse, addiction, masculinity, forgiveness, service, and protecting your peace. If you’ve ever felt broken, ashamed, or alone… watch this. There is purpose in pain. — Follow Fausto: YouTube / IG / TikTok: @HopeDealerfausto If you’re struggling with addiction or trauma, you are not alone. Reach out. Help exists. Want the full story?
