Alika Gambill's Journey: From Addiction to Advocacy
Addiction stems from selfishness and self-centeredness. Recovery has taught me to be of service to others without expecting anything in return.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of addiction? Meet Alika Gambill, the founder of Pro Recovery Power, who shares his compelling story on 'Let The Journey Begin'. Growing up on the Big Island of Hawaii, Alika had a stable home and supportive parents. Yet, as an introverted teen, he sought acceptance through drugs and alcohol, leading to a 20-year cycle of addiction and destruction.
Alika's story is one of hitting rock bottom, lying to loved ones, and finally finding the strength to seek help when his sister refused to believe his deceit any longer. Now, nearly four years sober, Alika dedicates his life to helping others overcome addiction, especially in Hawaii where resources are scarce. In this episode, he discusses the importance of action, connection, and support in recovery.
Hosts Alex and Ryan navigate this heartfelt conversation with empathy and curiosity, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
