Ron Wilson: From Church Introductions to 30 Years of Addiction and Recovery

I didn’t like me. I didn’t like being sober...But now he is succeeding at recovery and never wants to go back.
What happens when a church introduction leads to a lifelong battle with addiction? Ron Wilson knows all too well. Starting with pot, his drug use escalated to meth and bath salts, resulting in a 30-year struggle filled with jails and prisons. In this gripping episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', hosted by TV news legend Randall Carlisle, Ron opens up about his tumultuous journey.
He shares the heartbreaking moment he missed his dad's funeral because he was too high and the deep self-loathing that fueled his addiction. But Ron's story doesn't end there. He speaks candidly about his path to recovery, the emotional battles he's fought, and how he's learning to love himself. This episode is a raw look at the devastating impact of addiction, but also a hopeful tale of resilience and the power of supportive friends in the recovery process.
Tune in to hear Ron's inspiring journey and discover the strength it takes to reclaim one's life.
