Brotherhood in Recovery: Brandon and Ryan Stump's Journey

We meet the individual at their all-time low. We show them how to behave, how to be a good friend, be a good son, and so forth.
Imagine moving across the country to start a new life, not just for yourself, but for a whole community. That's exactly what brothers Brandon and Ryan Stump did when they founded The Ohio House, a sober living community in Orange County, California. In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos sits down with the Stump brothers to uncover their inspiring journey from personal recovery to becoming pillars of support for others struggling with addiction.
Starting with just one house where Brandon and two friends lived after moving from Ohio, the brothers have grown their initiative into multiple locations. They share how their personal experiences with addiction and recovery shaped the unique culture of brotherhood and accountability at The Ohio House. This isn’t just about sobriety; it’s about creating a family where everyone leads by example.
Recorded at the Innovations in Recovery conference in San Diego, the episode delves into the nitty-gritty of early sobriety challenges and the importance of having fun along the way. Brandon and Ryan emphasize creating a supportive environment where residents can develop healthy habits and routines. Ryan sums it up perfectly: 'We meet the individual at their all-time low. We show them how to behave, how to be a good friend, be a good son, and so forth'.
But it's not just about the men. The Stumps are also working on extending these principles to reach female clients, proving that their approach is adaptable and inclusive. If you're curious about how community and brotherhood can transform lives, this episode is a must-listen. It’s packed with real stories, practical advice, and a touch of humor to keep things light.
Tune in to hear how Brandon and Ryan are making lasting sobriety not just a goal but a reality for many.
