To graduate was wonderful and I can remember I couldn't wait to graduate. And right from the first drink- and I remember, I just remember going, I'll have a drink, put it in that glass of Coca-Cola and no ice, and I don't even know why I said that.
Imagine being one of the first to step through the doors of a newly established recovery center. That's exactly what Gary Gingold did 50 years ago when he arrived at Odyssey House in Utah, battling a heroin addiction. In this episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', hosted by the seasoned Randall Carlisle, Gary shares his remarkable story of recovery, transformation, and resilience.
