Manage episode 384220777 series 2813473
Today on Recov hub Podcast, we have a Hall-of-Fame veteran in the professional sport of recovery. He had a great life growing up, but micro-trauma exploited his fears and insecurities and paved the way for drugs and alcohol. He kept getting into legal trouble until the judge put him in prison for 11 years. He spent his hard time learning how to become a better person and educated himself while he was locked up. After 16 years of sobriety, the disease found a weak point and attacked. He had his final wake-up call in a cell, away from his family, then decided to dedicate himself to helping addicts with his same inherent struggles. He now has his Masters degree in the art of drug rehabilitation and is here to lay down the facts. He works with other addicts at Holdfast Recovery in Prescott, Arizona and is making a tremendous impact in the community. Please welcome Richard Jewell!
