Episode notes

Battling Addiction is the most personal and transparent episode I’ve ever recorded.

In this episode of Maurice Unscripted, I share how addiction nearly destroyed every part of my life. I speak openly about ruining my marriage, damaging my relationship with my children, facing a DUI, domestic abuse and assault charges, serving time in prison for assault with a deadly weapon and battery, and the heartbreaking reality that my choices deprived my children of having their father during some of the most important moments of their lives.

This episode is not about making excuses or asking for sympathy. It’s about accountability, repentance, and the life-changing power of God’s grace. My hope is that by telling the truth about my past, someone struggling with addiction will choose recovery before it’s too late.

If you’re battling addiction, carrying shame from your past, or wondering if your life can ever be restored, this episode is for you. No matter how far you’ve fallen, there is hope. Healing is possible. Forgiveness is real. Your story is not over.

Scripture: John 10:10 — “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
