I almost missed a plane traveling from one country to the next in Europe, because I was so hung over I missed a plane. And, and so you know, I had to turn myself in and went to jail for a while, A Couple Months, and and then, you know, that's where I kind of saw the subculture of jail life.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their darkest moments into a beacon of hope for others? Meet Gabe Rosales, a professional musician from San Juan Capistrano, California, who did just that. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, Gabe opens up about his tumultuous journey through addiction, incarceration, and ultimately, redemption.
His story begins with a childhood shadowed by his father's alcoholism, which set the stage for his own struggles with alcohol and drugs starting in high school and extending into his early music career. Gabe's addiction spiraled to the point where he ended up serving time in prison. It was during this period that he witnessed the harsh realities of jail life, sparking his interest in criminal justice reform.
Determined to change his life, Gabe got sober in 2007 and earned a degree in Criminal Justice. He now works tirelessly on policy changes in California, advocating for secular recovery programs and supporting Native American issues. Gabe also highlights the role of community, spirituality, and creativity in his recovery journey. His story is a testament to the power of transformation and the importance of finding support outside traditional religious-based recovery programs.
Tune in to hear Gabe's inspiring tale of overcoming adversity and making a difference.
