Feb. 17, 2026 – Sam Hillis, left, and Cory Hobbs visited WCPI’s Studio B to share their experiences and lessons from their struggle to overcome drug addiction and build new lives in sobriety. The descent into drug abuse and addiction can start in different places and follow different paths. Both men were raised in stable, respectable families. Both were regularly in church and rarely missed a day in school.
To the outside world, they both seemed to be fine. They were expected to grow into responsible, self-sufficient adults and ‘solid citizens.’
But on the inside, Sam Hillis and Cory Hobbs were sliding into substance abuse and hard addiction.
On their separate struggles to put drugs out of their lives, both found their Christian faith to be their lighthouse in the stormy seas of addiction.
