Zach George: From the Streets to Building Safe Havens for Recovery
I caused a lot of the harm in my life on my own, and so now, like I know, the way to prevent that is by surrounding myself with as many people that you know have not only my best interests but the world's best interests around me at heart, you know, to help impact my decision making and what I do.
Imagine bouncing from state to state, battling homelessness and addiction, and then finding the strength to turn your life around. That's exactly what Zach George did, and his story is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of 'Recovery Uncensored', hosted by Ty Bechel, Zach opens up about his tumultuous journey through Ohio, Washington, and Texas.
Each place brought its own set of challenges, but it was in Texas that Zach found a lifeline in the form of an Oxford House. These homes offer a secure, supportive environment for those in recovery, and for Zach, it was a game-changer. Now, he’s not just living a life free from addiction; he’s actively helping others do the same by setting up new Oxford Houses in Illinois and surrounding states.
If you’re looking for a story that showcases the power of community and the human spirit, Zach’s journey is a must-listen. He talks candidly about the chaos of his past, the turning point that led him to seek help, and the gratitude he feels for the supportive network that helped him rebuild his life.
This episode is perfect for anyone who needs a reminder that recovery is possible and that with the right support, you can not only change your own life but also make a difference in the lives of others.
