On this episode of the StraitJacket Podcast, Diego shares his powerful journey of growing up as an immigrant after being born in Mexico and raised in the United States. Navigating identity, belonging, and hardship at a young age wasn’t easy, and those struggles led him into experimenting with drugs in high school, eventually pulling him deep into the rave scene and a serious meth addiction. 🌎💔
Diego opens up about walking away from meth and other substances, only to find himself leaning heavily on alcohol for years after. In a raw and honest conversation, he talks about what it finally took to quit drinking as well and face life sober. His story is one of resilience, self-awareness, and the courage it takes to break cycles and choose a different path. 🔥✨
