Courage Episode 5 Angel: A Second Chance - Beating Addiction and Hep C
Tuesday, 14 January, 2014
Angel knows what rock bottom feels like. Since age eleven, Angel has abused alcohol, drugs, and walked a trouble path. That path would eventually lead him to federal prison for murder after ending a man's life in a bar fight. While in prison, the substance abuse didn't stop -- and he eventually contracted hepatitis C. Angel spent the first half of his life making mistakes -- and paying the consequences. But it's never too late for courage. Miraculously, Angel decided he would no longer let his past dictate future: he got clean, he earned several degrees, and he sought treatment for his hepatitis C -- all within prison walls. You won't want to miss Angel himself talk about his darkest tragedies and brightest triumphs, as he sheds light on substance abuse, hepatitis C, and the courage it took to overcome them.
