From Addiction to Redemption: A Journey of Faith, Recovery, and Family Restoration.
A production of Unconditionally Her Media and CO-XST Media, we present our first short film documentary, diving deep into the captivating journey of Carl Gibson.
At age 10, Carl began experimenting with "huffing gas" on his family's Dahlonega, Georgia property, a decision that set the stage for a risky downfall into substance abuse. His reliance on drugs became a way to cope with the deep-seated anxiety and depression rooted in the cycle of addiction and abuse within his home. Through his teenage and young adult years, Carl's addiction intensified, ultimately leading to the heart-wrenching loss of his family and support system.
Today, Carl candidly shares his life experiences with our team, recounting the pivotal moments that have shaped his present identity: a man of unwavering faith, a dedicated family member, a successful professional, and an individual with a singular mission—to help others conquer the formidable battle of drug addiction and seek family restoration.
Carl's story merits global attention, serving as a testament to the resilience and determination one can summon while pursuing dreams, protecting loved ones, and realizing their ultimate human potential, triumphing over the daunting challenges of addiction.
