Stigma is dead and we do recover, and we not only recover.
Picture this: a skinny, freckled kid who dreams big but stumbles into the dark world of addiction. That's Richard Jensen's story, but it doesn't end there. In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn welcome Richard to share his remarkable journey from the depths of addiction, through prison and homelessness, to becoming a national wrestling champion and an Emmy-winning storyteller on ESPN. Richard’s path wasn't easy.
At 37, he made a life-changing decision to get sober and return to wrestling, a sport he loved. Despite facing countless losses and physical challenges, his perseverance paid off when he clinched a national championship title in 2016. Richard’s story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around. He emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people and staying committed to your goals, no matter how insurmountable they may seem.
Tune in to hear how wrestling became his lifeline and how he now uses his platform to inspire others on their own recovery journeys. This episode is not just about wrestling; it's about resilience, hope, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.
