Ep. 90 - Multiple Addictions, Multiple Attempts at Recovery with Malik Keene
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Malik Keene’s addiction story spans decades — from gambling on card games as a teenager to casino markers, alcohol abuse, drug addiction, and multiple DUIs. What began as bullying and insecurity turned into a lifelong search for validation through money, gambling, and substances.
Malik describes running a “casino” out of his college dorm, countless nights driving hours to Atlantic City, blacking out outside casinos, and nearly losing everything — including his life. After years of addiction, isolation, and spiritual searching, Malik finally surrendered and entered rehab at age 49. Today, he’s a certified recovery coach, peer recovery specialist, author, and founder of Amazing Grace Recovery.
