Al Richards: From Addiction to Advocacy and Self-Discovery
There's something in ourselves that we're trying to mask or cover up in your self-discovery and your journey of who is Al Richards?
Al Richards' journey is nothing short of remarkable. After battling a weekend alcohol and cocaine addiction for eight years, Al faced the loss of his job of 24 years. But instead of letting this define him, he chose a different path. In this episode of 'This is Sober', host Molly Desch sits down with Al to uncover his inspiring transformation from addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others struggling with similar issues.
Al opens up about the pivotal moments that led him to sobriety and how he discovered a new purpose in life. He shares candidly about the lessons learned and the importance of self-discovery in the recovery process. What makes Al's story even more compelling is his commitment to helping others. In March 2021, he launched 'The Other Side of Addiction Podcast', creating a platform for open and honest conversations about addiction and recovery.
His recent initiative, the ARC/Addiction Resource Collective Networking group, aims to connect people with essential resources and support systems. Throughout the conversation, Al emphasizes the significance of finding oneself after addiction and the power of community in recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on overcoming addiction and rediscovering oneself.
