Todd Youngs on his inspirational journey of recovering from drug addiction and alcoholism through Ayahuasca. “Finally through experience of profound unending pain and suffering, with the addition of a bright light of hope and love that shined into my life in early 2009, I had what I like to call, one could call it a born again experience… I was in effect raised from the dead. Todd Youngs is a recovering alcoholic and addict who has been free from his addictions for over 11 years. He is a recovery coach and spiritual director who works intensively with others using multiple treatment modalities. He is active in his local recovery community as well as in the sobriety movement more broadly.
