Justin Lowry’s story is a wild ride through chaos, collapse, and ultimately, radical redemption. Starting drugs at age 12, Justin’s life spiraled through addiction, business success, bankruptcy, and homelessness—until a near-death hospital stay and jail time forced him to face the truth: he was the problem.

Now sober and thriving, Justin has turned his pain into purpose through Smiles for Recovery, a nonprofit providing free dental implants for people in recovery. What began as a small idea in a borrowed dental chair has become a $6.5M movement that restores not just teeth, but dignity, confidence, and hope.

• The collapse of his multimillion-dollar business and his spiral into cocaine use
• The jail stay and suicide attempt that became his turning point

• The creation of Smiles for Recovery and the miraculous 98% sobriety success rate among patients
• Why restoring a smile can be the most powerful act of recovery
