I was able to find forgiveness for myself, because I'm a personal believer that the first time I ever got dope, sick and withdrew and then went, chose to go back and get high again.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of addiction and pain into a journey of healing and hope? In this episode of 'Doing It Sober with Daniella Park', Reverend Rex shares his powerful story. Growing up in a broken home filled with neglect and abuse, Rex's early years were marked by hardship. These experiences led him down a dark path of heroin addiction. But his story doesn't end there.
Rex found a way out through recovery and forgiveness, not just for others but for himself too. He opens up about the pivotal moments that helped him reclaim his life, including a remarkable biking expedition across the United States.

Rex’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-love and community support. If you or someone you know is battling addiction or looking for a spark of inspiration, this episode offers a compelling narrative of redemption and hope.
