Episode notes
They say children inherit their parents' struggles, but Lucky Church rewrote his destiny. What began as survival in Bronx crack houses - watching his mother shoot up behind the stove at 5, carrying buckets of his stepfather's overdose blood at 10 - nearly became his own story of addiction. In this visceral Cross Talk episode, Lucky exposes the generational cycle he broke through sheer will and a heart that literally burst to wake him up.
From forgotten birthdays eating dry cake mix to gorging on hero sandwiches to numb the pain, Lucky traces how trauma morphed into food/alcohol addiction - until a surgeon told him "You have a 10% chance to survive tonight."
