Episode 46: I Spent $1 Million on Drugs - The Devin Price Story Part 2

Summary: Devin Price blames nobody but himself for the direction his life took. As a kid, Devin thought his childhood was fairly normal. His dad ran off and his mother became addicted to drugs, but Devin’s grandparents did their best to provide a stable, loving home.   By 17, Devin had gotten into harder drugs, both selling and dealing. But that was only the beginning.    In the coming years, Devin would get an underage girl pregnant, commit crimes, spend time in rehab and jail, make meth, start an escort service, and eventually land himself a serious prison sentence.    At the end of Part 1, Devin had just been pulled over by police, with a car full of drugs, and contemplated suicide in that moment. He faced a long list of charges, all which carried a maximum sentence of life in prison.   Fortunately, Devin didn’t spend that long behind bars. At 29, he’s still young, recently out of prison, has a new outlook on life, a job, and is taking things one day at a time.    Hear how Devin dealt with prison and kept clean, what’s motivating him to stay away from drugs and alcohol now, and some inspiring words for other people who may find themselves in a similar situation.      Host and Producer: Karla Stephens-Tolstoy Editor and Co-Producer: Joel at East Coast Radio Creative   Stand Up Speak Up Understand Addiction Collection: https://www.standupspeakupapparel.com/collections/beyond-addiction-collection    Like Stand Up Speak Up on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/standupspeakuppodcast/    HBO Red Onion State Prison Documentary Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eAOzxZNJyE    Write to or help prisoners: http://writeaprisoner.com
