Afraid of Change, Character Defect - The Other Side of Addiction with Marlin Beckstead.
 
Today's guest Marlin Beckstead started his addiction to Marijuana and Cocaine in High School. He dropped out of school so he could deal, the drugs he loved to use. Realizing something needed to change, he joined the Navy. However, he found himself doing the same thing. In a short 2-1/2 years he was kicked out for drugs. In and out of jails, ten years total of being incarcerated for drugs and criminal behaviors due to his addiction, he decided it was time to change. Many failed attempts went from one Recovery Center to another, until he found The Other Side Academy. Marlin is now a Concrete Superintendent for a large concrete company in Salt Lake City. Marlin's message is this... People do recover after a long history of recovery failure and abuse, I'm living proof! Thank you, Marlin, for taking time out of your day to be our guest on The Other Side of Addiction. It was an absolute pleasure having you in the studio. Wishing you all the best my friend, hope to see you around. Thank you Jenann for being today's guest co-host. You brought a lot to the table.

John Libutti was born in Provo, Utah. At an early age, he learned that he didn’t like doing hard things. It started with his newspaper route. He discovered that if he acted like he was going to deliver the papers, but really threw them away, he would still get paid for doing nothing. He found that lying and stealing were easy ways out of tough confrontations. He began stealing from his family and telling them what they wanted to hear to avoid conflict and accountability. In his senior year he started hanging around a rough crowd and smoking weed. He dropped out of high school, and the weed quickly led to other drugs. He would do pretty much any substance that he could get his hands on, but his drug of choice was heroin. He began committing crimes to support his lifestyle, which inevitably led to jail time. For the next 7 years or so, John was in and out of jail, burning bridges with his family, and pushing all who loved him away. He got married, but only ended up dragging his wife through the misery with him. He eventually ended up in prison, where he learned how to be a better criminal and how to continue this destructive lifestyle. For the next 3 years he bounced back and forth between prison, a halfway house, and short periods out on the streets. While this cycle continued, his sister told him about The Other Side Academy. It took some time and one more stay in prison, but he finally got there and was accepted in 2016. At The Other Side Academy, John learned valuable lessons about integrity, accountability, and how to care for others. He learned to face problems and push through them, finally correcting the childhood behavior of taking the path of least resistance. He spent most of his time at the Moving Company and after 2 years was helping run it. Along with this, he was given a position in the house where he was in charge of a group of guys and their personal growth. He loved this and started to love who he was becoming. In 2019, after his 3rd year at The Other Side Academy, he was hired as a full-time staff member. He now gets the opportunity to give others hope and to help them become the best versions of themselves. You can find more information on The Other Side Academy at theothersideacademy.com Thank You John for taking time out of your day to spend it with us on The Other Side of Addiction. It was a pleasure having you in the studio. Thank You Bill Schuffenhauer for taking a couple hours out of your day to be our guest co-host, it was an honor my friend. Special Thanks to our amazing sponsors... Without them, we wouldn't be doing what we're doing. We love and Appreciate every one of you! THANK YOU for your support!
