Episode 147: "Addicted Psychologist, H in the 60’s, & Jail Colds". ft. Paul I. Jan 09, 2024

In today's episode, Teddy welcomes Paul, a recovering addict with a powerful story of change and redemption. Paul shares his journey from a young age when he started using drugs to his descent into addiction over the course of 20 years.

Paul's story is a poignant reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate. Growing up in a diverse neighborhood in New York City during the 1960s, he often felt like he didn't quite fit in. As the '60s turned into the '70s, Paul's experimentation with drugs gradually escalated, leading him down a treacherous path of addiction.

What makes Paul's story even more compelling is that he wasn't just any ordinary person caught in the throes of addiction – he was a doctor in psychology.

Episode 146: "Dr. Barrys Addiction & The Illusion of Confidence Found in Drug Use” ft. Dr. Barry [Legacy Episode] Jan 03, 2024

Welcome to episode 146 of Hell Has an Exit. On this Episode Teddy invites Dr. Barry who he’s known since his earliest days in recovery. Dr. Barry is what we call a unicorn in South Florida, being born and raised in Broward County. In this episode the two go on to talk about their earliest signs of addiction even before drugs were ever in the picture. Dr. Barry shares instances where he had this natural entrepreneurial instinct to buy a bag of lollipops at 11 yrs old and flip them for a profit at school similar to his college days where he would buy 500 pills and flip them to have some extra for his personal use.

Teddy and Dr. Barry share a similar story in that they didn’t necessarily come from terrible families or upbringings like you often hear from others in the rooms of NA. While everyone’s story is different - the importance of relating to one another, especially for Teddy, was extremely helpful in his early recovery. They both got introduced to the world of addiction through the want and need to fit in, something that weed offered for them immediately. It offered them the ability to fit in, to have something others wanted, and to be the one to be able to supply it. A big part of their addiction was the lifestyle that came with it.

Dr. Barry went on to college a the University of Florida where his addiction got so bad that 19 of his friends who he used drugs with at the time staged a 4-hour intervention to push him to get help. Barry got clean one year later at 20 years old.

Dr. Barry went on to get a degree in psychology and has dedicated most of his like to recovery in his career and in his personal life with over 28 years clean. Don’t miss this inspiring story on this week's Hell Has an Exit.

Episode 123: “I’m Not Even Supposed to Be Here” ft. Brian May 23, 2023

Join us for an extraordinary episode of the "Hell Has an Exit" podcast as we delve into the gripping journey of Brian, whose life took a dark turn in his teenage years due to addiction. Tragically, a devastating ATV accident left him with a severely broken leg, leading to a series of infections and intense pain. To manage his suffering, Brian was prescribed powerful painkillers, coinciding with the rampant pill mills of Florida at the time. With easy access to narcotics, he spiraled deeper into addiction.

As Brian's addiction grew more costly, he found himself living with a fellow addict, someone his mother had kindly taken in for assistance. It was this individual who introduced Brian to heroin as an alternative to pills. Initially, he started by sniffing it, but it wasn't long before he witnessed his friend injecting the drug. Succumbing to temptation, Brian followed suit, and his life quickly plummeted into chaos. He found himself trapped in a vicious cycle of jail, trouble, and substance abuse, hitting rock bottom.

In a pivotal moment, Brian's mother and stepmother joined forces, urging him to seek help. Agreeing to their plea, he entered his first rehabilitation program and began the 12-step journey. However, without fully committing to the steps and the seriousness required, he soon relapsed, repeating the pattern of sobriety and relapse time and time again.

During one period of sobriety, Brian obtained his stockbroker's license and started making decent money. Unfortunately, the 2008 financial crash abruptly stripped him of his job. Desperate for stability, he took a position at an unfamiliar stockbroker firm, unaware of the impending troubles it would bring. Years later, he received a life-altering phone call, revealing that his former colleagues were being sentenced to prison. Caught in the crossfire, Brian found himself facing charges with an ineffective lawyer. Despite others receiving probation, he was unjustly handed a 15-year prison sentence. The sense of injustice fueled his return to substance abuse shortly before entering jail.

Within the confines of prison, Brian finally found the strength to break free from addiction, leaving it behind forever. However, his trials and tribulations were far from over. Despite his 15-year sentence, he remained incarcerated for five grueling years, enduring the challenges of prison life. Through the unwavering support of his mother and the assistance of astute legal minds, he managed to secure an appeal, presenting his case to the court. Miraculously, the judge granted approval, offering him a glimmer of hope.

Now boasting 11 years clean, Brian has turned his life around, embracing the path of recovery and cherishing the positive trajectory it has brought. Join us this week on "Hell Has an Exit" for an incredible tale of faith and resilience, even in the face of adversity. You won't want to miss it!

Episode 118: The Wrongful Conviction of Tony Apanovitch - A letter from Tony (2023 UPDATE) ft. Peter Kobak Apr 11, 2023

Welcome back to Hell Has an Exit. In episode 96, Bryan visited Tony Apanovitch on Death Row for an exclusive interview. Today's mini-episode provides an update on Tony's wrongful conviction. Tony is currently on death row for a crime he did not commit, and in this episode, you'll hear a letter from Tony himself, as well as an interview with Peter Kobak on what's happening with the case and how listeners can help Tony find justice.

First, we'll hear from Tony. In his letter, he expresses his gratitude to everyone who has supported him throughout his journey to finding justice. He acknowledges how difficult it has been to be back on death row, but remains hopeful that justice will eventually be served. Tony asks listeners to continue spreading the word about his case and fighting for his freedom.

Next, we have an interview with Peter Kobak, Campaign Coordinator for Ohioans to Stop Executions, who has been working on Tony's case. Peter provides an update on the legal proceedings and discusses some of the challenges they face in securing Tony's release. One of the challenges is that the Ohio Parole Board has not scheduled Tony’s case for a hearing. Peter urges listeners to write to the Board, and maybe the governor, urging that a hearing be scheduled.

Episode 106: "By Any Means Necessary" ft. Marco Jan 14, 2023

Welcome back to Hell Has an Exit Episode 106! Today Bryan invites special guest Marco to share his story which involves using for 19 years, working in the kitchens of highly renown chefs, his involvement in the program, and using for 13 years without his wife knowing.

Marco grew up in Las Vegas spending most of his childhood and youth playing baseball. He was heavily dedicated and passionate about the sport which kept him away from trouble for a long time. One childhood memory that Marco recalls was his father, who passed away from active addiction, beating him senseless without reason. It’s something that stuck with him in the years to follow when his own using got so bad. He remembered thinking that he was on his way to becoming just like his father. Something he always promised himself he would never become.

When Marco gave up baseball's life quickly began to change. He started hanging out with people who were smoking weed and introducing him to heavier drugs. On one occasion someone offered him speed. When he tried it, he immediately got sick and nothing much came of it. The next day he tried it again, and from that moment on he was hooked. Marco's new passion and profession as an adult was as a Chef. He went from working in kitchens in NYC for notable chefs to opening his own place in Brooklyn with his wife. During this time, he used cocaine to function and get through every single day.

For 13 years, his wife had no idea. She came from a world that never exposed her to drug use or addiction. When Marco hit bottom, he was desperate. He found himself completely lost and felt like the only way out would be to end his life. That was the plan. Thankfully, God had other plans. Through his family support, rehab, and the 12 steps, Marco was able to find his way out of Hell.

Today Marco has his life back, works a strong program, works as a private chef, and just started his own recovery podcast called BAMN - By Any Means Necessary. Don’t miss this incredibly real, raw, and inspiring story on this week’s episode of HELL HAS AN EXIT

Episode 105: “Can I Trust Again?” Ft Brad Jan 03, 2023

This week on Hell Has an Exit we kick off the new year with a special guest by the name of Brad.

On this Episode Brad and Bryan get deep into Brads life, what his childhood was like, his days in active addiction, recovery, relapse, the 12-steps, and some of Brad’s deepest Traumas.

Brad was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. His father was a Homicide detective who was completely consumed by his career and his mother did her best to raise 3 boys in a low-income Baltimore neighborhood. Brad often found himself on his own, especially after one of his brothers was diagnosed with cancer. When he was only about 9 years old, he was offered weed laced with PCP, one time getting high was al it took for Brad. After that moment, he knew he wanted to be high all the time. Up until he was 20 years old, Brad was fully immersed in the lifestyle. He was selling pills to afford his habit as it intensified to other harder drugs like crack.

When Brad was in his early 20’s he went to rehab and began working a program soon after. He was able to accumulate 3 years clean. For years he battled with the idea that maybe he could just drink alcohol. All it took was one night of drinking for Brad to be right back where he was before.

Today Brad shares about the transformation in his life that took place getting clean a second time. This time around, he has been able to open up about traumatic experience like losing his younger brother and the childhood sexual abuse that he kept buried deep inside his entire life.

Episode 104: "Introverted Life of the Party" ft. Marvin Dec 27, 2022

Today on Hell Has an Exit, Bryan invites a very special guest by the name of Marvin.

Marvin was one of 9 children born and raised in South Carolina. Ever since he was a young boy his family considered him to be “different”. Although his father didn’t want him to be named Marvin, (after the great singer Marvin Gaye) Marvin loved his name and wanted to grow up to be a model, singer and dancer.

For most of his life, he learned to deal with trauma and grief by sweeping It under the rug. Things like the death of his father which was caused by drug and alcohol abuse, the death of his 2 brothers, and being sexually molested by a family member.

Despite Marvin’s upbringing and traumatic experiences, he always did his best to put one foot in front of the other. He had graduated college and always held down a job.

For a long time, Marvin felt different in his sexuality. He wanted to belong and feel accepted as a gay man. When he was 34 years old, he tried a little weed, and found a group of people who made him feel a “part of”. Before he knew it - he was hooked on cocaine, crystal meth and a lifestyle he never imagined for himself.

Eventually, Marvin realized what he was dealing with was something he was not going to be able to overcome alone. He confessed everything to his mother and admitted that he needed help. After a successful stay at a treatment facility, Marvin was able to get his life back on track by integrating himself in the program and attending 12-step meetings. He vowed to work the steps with his sponsor and became fully immersed in his recovery.

Today, Marvin has almost 4 years clean, has been able to open up about his sexuality with his family and is able to live his life as his authentic self.

Dr. Barry shares instances where he had this natural entrepreneurial instinct to buy a bag of lollipops at 11 yrs. old and flip them for a profit at school like his college days - where he would buy 500 pills and flip them to have some extra for his personal use.

Bryan and Dr. Barry share a similar story in that they didn’t necessarily come from terrible families or upbringings like you often hear from others in the rooms of NA. While everyone’s story is different - the importance of relating to one another, especially for Bryan, was extremely helpful in his early recovery. They both got introduced to the world of addiction through the want and need to fit in, something that weed offered for them immediately. It offered them the ability to fit in, to have something others wanted, and to be the one to be able to supply it. A big part of their addiction was the lifestyle that came with it.

Dr. Barry went on to college at the University of Florida where his addiction got so bad that 19 of his friends who he used drugs with at the time staged a 4-hour intervention to push him to get help. Barry got clean one year later at 20 years old.

Dr. Barry went on to get a degree in psychology and has dedicated most of his like to recovery in his career and in his personal life with over 26 years clean. Don’t miss this inspiring story on this week’s Hell Has an Exit.

Today on Hell Has an Exit Bryan Invites a very special guest by the name of Calvin S.

Calvin was born in South Carolina and adopted at the age of 2 after his mother was murdered by a serial killer. He lived his life with this pain deeply rooted in his soul and as he put it - he was “going through life with a victim mentality.” For the most part, Calvin was always a functional addict. He had a job, a family and was caught up in a cycle of succeeding a little and then messing it all up. It wasn’t until Calvin was around 31 years old that addiction clung on and sunk its sharp fangs deeply into every part of his life.

While Calvin was using, his 9-year-old daughter wrote him a letter letting him know how he made her feel after he didn’t show up for Christmas. At first the letter pushed him further into the darkness but in the end when he had absolutely nothing left but this letter in his wallet, Calvin hung on to every word for dear life. It was that letter that helped him get clean.

Calvin's story is truly one of commitment and the real-life example of how a 12-step program can save and change lives. Calvin has 21 years of sobriety. Today he is married and happily gives himself to the program. Through his recovery he has taken over 20 sponsee’s through the 12 steps, has rekindled his relationship with his children, and together with his wife fosters children who need love and care until their families are able to take them back. Don’t miss this uplifting and inspirational episode of Hell Has an Exit with a true champion of the 12-step program Calvin S.

Episode 100: “Hope After Dope“ Tony V. Nov 22, 2022

Today on Hell Has an Exit Bryan Invites special Guest Tony V. To share his story on episode 100! Tony was what you would call a late bloomer in addiction, his addiction kicked off with “Percocet’s” and “Oxy’s” in his early 30’s. Tony was a successful user in that he rarely ever had to deal with being dope sick and going without. He made tons of money bartending & doing real estate and had a ring of about 6-8 old ladies that he would do chores for in exchange for an endless supply of pills.

On the outside, Tony’s life seemed perfect but as his addiction intensified it became harder to keep up appearances. It wasn’t long before things started to crumble and within just a matter of months he lost his family, his home & any self-worth he had left. For most people this would have been rock bottom, for Tony it was the beginning of an even deeper path of self destruction now that he didn’t have to worry about anything else besides himself and using.

Today, Tony is over 6 years clean and maintains his recovery by putting in the work through a 12-step program. Don’t miss this incredible story of a man who got clean at 43 and has a world of possibilities ahead of him through surrendering and finding recovery.

Episode 99: “My life is so good today; I can buy cheese fries” ft. Darryl M. Nov 15, 2022

Today on Hell Has an Exit Bryan Invites special Guest Darryl M. Darryl was born in a tough neighborhood on the northside of Philly, his family was no stranger to the disease of addiction, drug dealing, and street life. Both his dad and stepmom were in recovery before Darryl ever even touched a drug, his grandmother ran a trap house, and Darryl would later become heavily involved in dealing and using.

At 15 years old, Darryl was deep in the game, had just had his first kid and had a goal of making 1 million tax free dollars from dealing. At 19 years old, Darryl was shot 5 times at a point-blank range but that didn’t stop him from the hustle. He was consistently on pills after getting shot and began using cocaine more and more. He went from never getting high off his own supply to skimming bags little by little, to eventually consuming his supply and hiding out when he didn’t have money to pay back his supplier.

Darryl eventually hit rock bottom, his life was completely unmanageable, and he was stealing from his family to get money for drugs. Being no stranger to the 12 steps, Darryl sought help from the program and began his recovery journey.

Listen to this fantastic story of recovery and new life on this week's Hell Has An Exit with guest DARRYL M.

Ep 98: “An Innocent Man on Death Row, AGAIN” ft. Anthony Apanovitch Nov 08, 2022

Today on Hell Has an Exit, we have decided to re-release “An Innocent Man on Death Row, Again” ft. Anthony Apanovitch in an attempt to raise as much awareness as possible to Anthony’s case. Every single day that goes by is another day added to the 36 years Anthony has already spent behind bars for a crime he did not commit.

On this Episode - Host Bryan Alzate gets exclusive access to interview Anthony inside the Chillicothe Correctional Institute which holds most of Ohio’s death row inmates.

You will hear from Anthony’s Attorney - Dale Baich, Ohio State Representative - Jean Schmidt, Director of Communications for Ohioans to Stop Executions - Allison Cohen, and Anthony Apanovitch himself.

This is the story of Anthony Apanovitch, a man who stands on death row after being wrongfully convicted for the rape and murder of Mary Ann Flynn. After spending 32 years on Death Row, DNA evidence exonerated Tony and he was released as a free man.

For two years Anthony got to experience the freedom he deserved, he got married to his longtime girlfriend, and became a loving husband and grandfather. For the first time in his life, he felt vindicated.

After eighteen months of freedom with his family, a legal technicality regarding the way that the DNA evidence that freed him was processed resulted in his exoneration being overturned. Tony was then stolen from his family when the U.S. Marshall's came to his house and took him back to death row, where he tragically stands today.

Please help spread the word on Anthony’s case so that this man can be granted justice once and for all.

EP 97: The Addicts Diary Part 2 feat. Kevin Alter Nov 01, 2022

Welcome back to Episode 97 of Hell Has an Exit. On this Episode Bryan invites close friend, Kevin Alter on the show for the second time.

Many of you might have already heard of Kevin from his viral FB page “The Addicts Diary” which he’s grown to almost a million followers. It’s through Kevin’s own grim battle with addiction that he’s been able to shine a light into the world of recovery for the millions of people out there who are still struggling.

After ending up homeless and living in a train station, Kevin entered rehab for the 29th time with no intention of really getting clean. What we learn is that getting clean is never a process written in black in white and even though he had no intentions, he got clean on that last rehab visit. Since then, he’s not only become a beacon of hope for thousands of addicts but has in many ways devoted his life to helping other addicts find their exit from hell through his fb page and through the opening of his own rehab.

Welcome back to the Hell Has an Exit Speaker Tape Series. Today’s episode features NA Speaker Ousmane D.

After a particularly hard run, he decided he needed to go to rehab, it was here where he heard the message of recovery through H & I (Hospitals and Institutions).

Ep 92 - "Hit With a Grateful Stick" ft. Evan L. Aug 02, 2022

Welcome Back to Episode 92 of the Hell Has an Exit Podcast. On this Episode Bryan Brings us longtime Friend, Evan to share his story.

From the time Evan was 14 or 15 years old he started abusing drugs and alcohol. He spent his formative years in schools for troubled kids. Evan mastered the art of manipulation by a very early age, later in his recovery he realized that much of his manipulation was because of his codependency which impacted the root of how he learned to process emotions from a young age.

All Evan knew for the longest time was jails and institutions while tiptoeing around death. After countless rehabs & numerous incarcerations - Evan reached a specific point of desperation where he was able to look at himself in the mirror and say “OK, this is just not working for me anymore.” For the first time in his life, he humbled himself and let God take control. He was released from jail with a restored sense of gratitude and began his journey into recovery with the help of his higher power and the 12-step program.

Don’t miss this thought-provoking story of trial and error, & deep self-reflection. The power of the 12 steps and proof that recovery is possible. This week's Hell Has An Exit.

Ep 88: “Biggest Enabler, Biggest Angel” ft. Yuta V. (Part 2 of 2) Jun 28, 2022

Welcome back to episode 88, part 2 of 2 of Yuta’s Story! When we left off last episode Yuta was facing up to 4 years in prison.

While serving time, Yuta was able to get clean. Upon getting out he figured his problem was always drugs and not alcohol so he figured drinking would be just fine. From one week to the next, his prescription drug use went from pills to the needle, to Flakka, and ending with Crack.

Yuta’s final run in with the law ended up with him crawling through a sewer pipe and nearly drowning to escape another prison sentence. In hindsight, it was the wakeup call he needed. Soon after, he entered into a program and decided to give a 12 step program a shot.

Today Yuta is 6 years sober and works with other addicts to help them recover. Listen to PART 2 of 2 in episode 88 and hear Yuta’s victory on this week's HELL HAS AN EXIT!

Then came the 2000’s and Yuta gets hurt on the job. This is where he discovers the effects of opioid prescriptions and how easy it was to get them during the “pill mill” era in Florida.

Ep 86 “A Little Bit of Human Contact” ft. Abraham D. Jun 14, 2022

On today’s Episode Bryan invites longtime friend Abraham D. to share his story. The two met in the rooms when Bryan was a newcomer and Abraham had about a year clean. Abraham spent most of his formative years in Peru & Colombia before moving to the United States at 38 years old. As a child, Abraham remembers recalls always feeling a deep sense of loneliness and not belonging. He mostly kept to himself and immersed himself in books.

The first time Abraham tried cocaine something inside him immediately shifted. Not only was he able to talk to a girl that same night, but he realized that with a substance he could escape his thoughts and be whoever he wanted to be. Cocaine turned into a crack habit and his love for women turned into an empty pursuit of companionship through escorts. Eventually he ended up coming to the US speaking no English, and went from being a professional with a secretary, to washing cars making enough for his next fix.

At first it felt like he would remain down the same path, but he found much more than drugs. He also found meetings, human connection, and a deep sense of humility and gratitude within himself. He eventually realized he could start over again & that he could free himself from the constraints of the south American societal pressures and become whoever he wanted to be.

Ep 78: GRATEFUL Ray ft. Ray R. Apr 19, 2022

Today on Hell Has an Exit Bryan invites Ray, a recovering addict & founder of GRATEFUL. Apparel. Born and raised in the streets of Jackson Heights in Queens New York, all Ray ever knew were the streets. His mother left when he was a young child and his father struggled with alcohol battling his own demons. Instead of growing up with family support & a house hold filled with love, It was crack cocaine that provided the warm embrace we all seek. Addiction sunk its teeth deep into Rays soul for 15 years, until he was met with the desperation and willingness to surrender and get clean.

Through faith, willingness, and determination Ray found his exit from Hell. He attended hundreds of meetings (over 200 in 90 days to be specific) with his number one goal being - DON’T USE. Ray’s story is so important because it shows that even though you can be clean for years, the disease is so powerful that if you’re not paying attention it can very quickly leave you feeling desperate, alone, and empty. It shows us that if you don’t address the underlying & deeper rooted issues it can and will find a way to slowly creep its way back in. For Ray, it was his attempt to fill a spiritual void with something physical that ultimatley led him down a dark path once again.

Listen to this vulnerable and inspiring story as Ray opens up about something he never has before, exclusively on HELL HAS AN EXIT

We left off on Episode 51, last week's episode, where Marty finds himself locked up with a life sentence. It becomes clearer than ever, that the justice system was not on his side, and that he would have to dig deep and find the courage and strength to prove his innocence and fight for his own freedom. He buries himself in the prison law library and begins the fight of his life. As the years go by, Marty is continuously thrown to the curb and denied exoneration time and time again.

Everything changed when Marty and his team decided they needed to conduct their very own investigation from start to finish into the case. Upon embarking on this new journey, a whole new load of shocking evidence was discovered, evidence that would surely break the case and free MARTY! But not so fast, it was the uncovering of this new evidence that truly shed light on how corrupt the DA, and Police officers were in Suffolk county, New York.

Listen to this weeks episode to find out how, after 17 years - Marty and his team were able to finally break the case and set him free. Don't miss this amazing story or will-power, determination, and perseverance this week on HELL HAS AN EXIT!

EP 39 - Recovering from Religion Ft. Danny Prada Jul 20, 2021

On todays episode of Hell Has an Exit, Bryan invites long-time friend and Minister Danny Prada to share how his spiritual journey began and how it came to be what it is today.

Growing up a conservative Christian Danny encountered a point in his life where he began to face serious doubts about religion after coming in contact with some difficult elements in his life. After unknowingly joining a cult, he realized that almost all religion is competing.

After years of study and research he started a Bible study based on the Christian Bible. This soon evolved into a more open and understanding theology that invited all religions and all beliefs into the church. This new theology brought some serious anger from the Christian community that Danny had grown up in. He was basically ostracized and soon found himself alone. Danny had trained to be a servant of the people with more than five years on the front lines of the most desperate cases as a chaplain at the rescue mission. He was committed to giving his life and service of others.

His Bible study grew into the Heartway Church and his ministry group. After studying the mystics and the great teachings of all religions, Danny realized he had to find a way to open up his church to the LGBTQ community and continued his evolution as a pastor in modern times. Today he runs a passionate group of people who seek to evolve their humanity and find real spiritual truth and peace through the trials and tribulations of life. Don’s miss this important episode.

EP 36: Hell Has an Entrance: PART 3 ft. Bryan Alzate Jun 29, 2021

In Part 3 of 4 — of the Bryan Alzate Story, “Hell Has an Entrance”, we join Bryan on his road to recovery, at the very beginning of his sobriety and his entrance into the 12 step program.

After completing his stay at Detox, Bryan get’s picked by his parents. The approach his dad took was something Bryan really struggled with. As its common - people who just don’t know any different, blame the drugs as being the sole reason for all of the addict’s problems. As soon as Bryan gets in the car, his dad made it very clear that this was his last chance. That he wouldn’t be putting up with his shit any more and that he needed to man up and get his life together. He needed to cut the crap, finish school, go to college, and get a job.

As Bryan sat quietly in the back seat, his dad continued on. He felt it was an important parenting moment - he had to take this opportunity to really let Bryan know that this was it. That he had to just “get over” the drugs and grow up. He had no clue that while he yelled and screamed, his son was in the back seat contemplating suicide. They were living in two completely different worlds.

Thankfully, Bryan had learned about meetings at detox. Something clicked and he realized that maybe it would be a good idea to give it a shot. At 17 years old, Bryan was ready to try and get clean. He figured he had two options - try anything, or end it all. What happens next is an odyssey into recovery. Bryan talks about the key relationships he formed & the magic and spiritual power of the 12 step program. He dives deep into his first year clean and opens up in detail about the good, the bad and the ugly. With the help and support of countless strangers, the Mad Russian, his amazing high-school teacher Mrs. Dean, and a commitment to recovery, Bryan begins to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

EP 34: Hell Has an Entrance: PART 1 ft. Bryan Alzate Jun 15, 2021

Welcome to episode 34 of Hell Has an Exit Podcast with Bryan Alzate. This episode is Part 1 of 4 of the “Hell Has an Entrance” special, where host - Bryan Alzate, begins to share his own personal story.

Bryan grew up in good neighborhood with plenty of friends. On paper, his environment seemingly provided everything a kid could ever need to flourish and have a healthy and normal upbringing. For many reasons though, he always felt different. Through the years, Bryan has had the ability to do some deep self-reflecting, he’s gone back and worked through some of his earliest memories, childhood experiences and traumas. It’s through this, that Bryan has come believe that he may have very well been born an addict.

By 9, Bryan smoked for the very first time with the new punk rock kid that had just moved in next door. He realized how quickly he could make friends through smoking weed with just about anyone. From that day forward, it became clear to Bryan that drugs would be his way to acceptance. Being the little brother, it wasn’t unusual for his older brother to reject him, (as siblings often do growing up) but when Bryan offered to smoke them out - he was instantly accepted and became part of the group. He was no longer “the annoying little brother”, he was cool now. Bryan decided that having weed on him at all times was the answer to fitting in. It became the social lubricant that would open the door to any social group and make him the cool kid in any crowd.

By the time Bryan was 13 or 14 he was already dealing weed, experimenting with cocaine, and had been arrested for the first time. In an attempt to keep Bryan from continuing down the wrong path, his parents shipped him off to Military school freshman year of highschool. They could have never imagined that this would be the beginning of an even more intense downward spiral. Bryan quickly became the known cocaine dealer at his new school. Every day, he dove deeper into his cocaine and drug addiction, taking it on as his main motivation in life and making drugs his defining characteristic.

In a turning point of events, Bryan’s buddy took him to a “crack house” for the first time so that he could sell more cocaine. Bryan’s eyes were opened to a whole new world. Within a few months, he would take his first hit of crack - Bryan describes it his own words as being “love at first toke”. By the time he was 17, Bryan found himself spending most of his time at crack houses addicted to heavy drugs… The host of our show found out from a very early age that Hell Has an Entrance, walking miles in these footsteps, he was able to experience the absolute hell that is “addiction”. It is through these experiences that he not only brings us the Hell Has an Exit Podcast, but is also able to deliver us the message of HOPE. Through his devotion to recovery, Bryan has had a direct impact on the lives of hundreds of addicts - helping them get clean through sharing his story, through United Recovery Project - the addiction treatment center he co-founded, through sponsorship, or through his dedication to the Hell Has an Exit Podcast.

EP 31: The Breathmaker and the Recovery of a Damaged Spirt ft. Janice B. May 25, 2021

Janice, a full blooded seminole Indian, kicks her story off by sharing what It was like growing up in multiple “Tourist Traps” all across Florida. In the 60’s, Indian families would have staged villages built that would resemble real Indian villages. They made money by living in them day in and day out all while tourists would come and interact with them as if they were still living off the land as their ancestors did. While they constantly moved from one tourist trap to another, there were many occasions where they would find themselves homeless. Janice’s father was an alcoholic, and where they ended up, always depended on how bad his drinking got. It’s easy to imagine how this lifestyle didn’t exactly provide a whole lot of stability for Janice, her sister, and two brothers.

Janice recalls feeling like her childhood innocence was completely stripped from her, as early as the age of 6. Between her alcoholic father, being homeless and moving around all the time, and her parents always fighting - fear quickly became her most familiar emotion. By the age of 12, Janice had been sexually molested for years, by more than one person. It was right around the time when the sexual abuse began, that Janice remembers going numb. Before ever getting the chance to understand that she was a victim, the sexual and emotional trauma had already began to deeply consume her.

It wouldn’t be long before Janice began acting out in school, using drugs, and eventually getting to a place so dark that taking her own life seemed like the only option. After stealing her stepfather’s gun, Janice had made up her mind. Nobody, not even Janice, could have been prepared for what happened next. As fate would have it, it wasn’t her life that she would be taking that night. One year later, Janice was tried as an adult for the murder of a convenient store clerk.

Listen to episode Thirty-One to hear how, after 26 years of being in and out of prison, Janice’s story becomes an unbelievable journey to redemption. Janice shares how she was finally able to get clean, and how the 12 step program has helped her become the incredible person that she is today. Don’t miss this inspiring episode of HELL HAS AN EXIT.

EP 30: This One’s For You Mom; A Homeless Junkie Becomes Vape Kingpin ft. Keith F. May 18, 2021

Welcome to episode Thirty of Hell Has an Exit Podcast with Bryan Alzate. On today’s episode, Bryan sits down Keith F. Bryan recalls the day over 13 years ago, when Keith first walked into the rooms. He had nothing but a trash bag thrown over his shoulder, and the desperate desire to get clean.

This week’s episode is an incredible story of resilience, hard lessons, and success. As Keith dives right into his early years, we quickly learn about the rough start that set the rocky foundation for what his life would be in the years to come. Keith was born to an 18-year-old drug addicted mother who became pregnant with him while prostituting. As circumstances would have it, he would never come to meet or know who his father was. Three short months after being born, his mother gave him up to his grandmother. Despite being given up, Keith would remain in contact with his mother throughout his life. He recalls things like visiting his mother in prison at 12 years old and bringing her the drugs that her friends had strapped in his “tighty whities” on parent/child visiting days. There was also the time she told him that Santa would be arrested for breaking and entering if he ever stepped foot in their house.

From a very early age, Keith started hustling. He did everything he could to find ways to make money. With his mother constantly in and out of prison, he wanted to be able to provide whatever he could for him and his grandmother. The two moved often in attempts to start a new life, but that never really panned out the way they envisioned. Despite all the difficulties, Keith did everything he could to try and stay on a straight and narrow path, but as fate would have it, the life his mother introduced him to, would suck him in.

Eventually Keith turned to drug dealing. His plan was to sell drugs so that his own mother wouldn’t have to hit up the streets looking for drugs any longer. He would sell the drugs and then provide her with whatever he had left over. While the plan worked, it wasn’t long before Keith would shoot up for the first time. It would be more than 20 years, multiple jail, and prison sentences, living under a bridge, and finding out he had a daughter; before he would hit rock bottom. There’s a few defining moments Keith highlight’s that finally led him to seek out the program and get clean. Listen to the full episode to find out how the 12 step program helped a man go from living under a bridge to becoming a multi-millionaire, known as the Vape Juice God, who has created one of the biggest vape businesses in the world. This incredible story of recovery, inner growth and success is not to be missed

EP 29: What Am I Supposed to Do With 100 Kilos? ft. RT May 11, 2021

Welcome to episode twenty-nine of Hell Has an Exit Podcast with Bryan Alzate. On today’s episode, Bryan sits down with a rare Miami native, RT.

Born and bred in Miami, RT recalls his early childhood as being "normal" until one specific, defining moment - the passing of his mother at only 11 years old. No one would ever ask RT things like, “do you have any homework due?” Or “do we need to schedule you a Dr’s appointment”, ever again. Growing up with 2 brothers and a single dad, it instantly became - every man for himself.

The two go on to discuss a variety of topics, including: Quaaludes, Acid, and the early 70’s. It was, in true fashion - the sex, drugs and rock & roll era. RT describes his college experience at UF. It was right around that time where he met the guys who introduced him to drug trafficking. He recalls this time in his life as being the pivotal moment where his sense of reality became warped. From there, it was a smooth transition between “Drinkin’ and Druggin”, that eventually led him to prison, heroin addiction, and years of suffering before turning his life around.

Check out this amazing story of redemption as Bryan and RT discuss what it was like getting clean with his wife in the 80’s, and how he has been able to maintain 37 years clean to date. Today, RT is known as, what many would call an “old timer”, in the rooms. With his partner Kenny P, he has founded the world known online platform http://intherooms.com. Together, they have created a place where people have access to 24/7 support that embraces multiple pathways to recovery, including all 12 Step, Non-12 Step, Wellness and Mental Health modalities. As of today, http://intherooms.com has grown to almost 1 million members across 136 countries and hosts more than 650 live online meetings monthly. Don’t miss this incredible story, that proves yet again that - Hell does have an exit.

When Adam C. was 26 years old, he hopped on an Amtrak train from Chicago to Miami carrying 50 pounds of Canadian weed. What happened next falls short of a Hollywood drama, but would leave Adam facing 30 years behind bars -- and this is just one of 36 arrests he'd face in his lifetime.

Now with more than six years clean, Adam reflects on the behaviors and substances that fueled his addiction, and how he survived and found freedom in recovery.

EP 17: Fighting a Double Murder He Didn’t Commit ft. John Huffington Feb 16, 2021

Welcome to episode seventeen of HELL HAS AN EXIT Podcast with Bryan Alzate. On today's episode, Bryan sits down with John Huffington to discuss John’s incredible true story. At 18, John was an up-and-coming Maryland drug dealer, moving weight for the cartel and running with the Greek mob. However, before his 20th birthday he found himself caught in a web of death, bad luck and worse timing.

On Memorial Day in 1981, police found the body of Diane Becker, 21, stabbed and beaten to death in her home in an Abingdon RV park. Her boyfriend, Joseph Hudson, a popular local disc jockey, was found shot to death a few miles away. The next morning, one of John’s acquaintances asked him to visit the police station and say they were together the night before. Immediately after giving the alibi, John was handcuffed for a double murder he didn’t commit, marking the beginning of a 32-year fight for his freedom.

During those 32 years, John lived in the prison’s law library, relentlessly searching for a way out. After decades spent battling a legal system that falsely accused him and a district attorney determined to keep him in prison, newly discovered DNA evidence in 2013 turned the case upside down. Don’t miss this story of redemption and advocacy only on this week’s episode of HELL HAS AN EXIT.

MINI EP 15: Sarah B. Reads “Mimi O’Donnell Reflects on the Loss of Philip Seymour Hoffman and the Devastation of Addiction” Feb 04, 2021

Welcome to HELL HAS AN EXIT Podcast with Bryan Alzate. Throughout his 12 years of sobriety, Bryan has read endless stories and listened to thousands of speakers talk about addiction, but none compare to an article by Mimi O'Donnell, Philip Seymour Hoffman’s long-time partner and the mother of his children. In 2014, Hoffman was found dead on his bathroom floor with a syringe in his left arm after overdosing on heroin, benzodiazepines and amphetamines. O’Donnell so accurately illustrates the recovery, disconnect, and the slow stage setting of a relapse. She acutely recalls Hoffman’s struggles and his relapse and describes every family member’s tug of war between providing unconditional love and enabling. It describes an intimate battle lost so publicly, and one that is all too familiar for both addicts and their family members.

In this mini episode, Sarah B. reads “Mimi O’Donnell Reflects on the Loss of Philip Seymour Hoffman and the Devastation of Addiction,” which originally appeared in Vogue in December 2017.
