I'm still sober, so that's the hugest achievement. And that's the basic. I've gotten my son back in my life, which has been huge. We always bicker, but he actually works for me. I've been able to just purchase a business, and so far I'm successfully running that. House, cars, family. Family back in my life is huge. Something I'm still working on that I don't know will ever happen is my daughter.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life around from the grips of addiction? In this episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', Randall Carlisle and Amy Daschle chat with Ryan Rostenburg, a man who transformed his life after years of drug addiction. Ryan opens up about his struggles before the age of 30, where his main focus was on drugs, leading to a life of chaos and missed opportunities.
Today, he owns a successful insurance agency and enjoys a happy family life, all thanks to his dedication to recovery and the support of 12-step programs. Ryan shares that it wasn't external factors like a job or family that led him to sobriety, but rather the hard work he put into his recovery journey. He highlights the importance of selfless service and the misconceptions about having fun while sober.
His story is a powerful reminder that with determination and the right support, anyone can rebuild their life.
