In this episode of the Friends of Recovery Podcast, we sit down with Bryan to hear his personal journey through addiction and recovery—and how that journey has shaped his life today.

Bryan shares the challenges, turning points, and lessons that have helped him along the way. We explore the importance of connection, finding purpose in recovery, and using lived experience to support others facing their own struggles.

Recovery is personal, but sharing our stories can remind others that they don’t have to face it alone. Join us for a conversation with Bryan about growth, hope, and what it means to keep moving forward.

In this episode of the Friends of Recovery Podcast, we sit down with Jeff, one of the newest members of the Friends of Recovery team, to hear his personal story of addiction, recovery, and the journey that led him to where he is today.

Jeff shares openly about the challenges he faced, the turning points that helped move him toward recovery, and what he has learned along the way. Now, he is using his lived experience to help support others who may be facing similar struggles.

This conversation is a reminder that recovery can look different for everyone, and that our experiences can become a source of hope, connection, and purpose for others.

Join us as we get to know Jeff, hear his story, and talk about what recovery means to him today.
