The best advice I can give anyone listening that is struggling is: don't take any advice from the last person you drank or got high with, and that's yourself.
Imagine losing everything to addiction – your wealth, your family, and even your life, multiple times over. That's the harrowing journey Tim Ryan recounts in this episode of Sober Nation FM. Once a successful business leader in the tech industry, Tim's world crumbled under the weight of heroin addiction. He overdosed eight times, endured two minor heart attacks, and was pronounced clinically dead three times. Addiction didn't just cost him his fortune; it took his marriage and his son, Nick.
Sentenced to seven years in prison for drug-related offenses, Tim's turning point came from an unlikely source – his cellmate. With his help and the support of a 12 Step program, Tim clawed his way back from the brink. Today, he's a public speaker, best-selling author, and founder of A Man in Recovery. His story has been spotlighted on A&E's Dope Man and major media outlets like USA Today and The Steve Harvey Show.
In this candid conversation with Jonathan Sylvester, Tim opens up about the devastating impact of addiction on families and the pivotal moments that led to his recovery. He shares his insights on being a 'servant of recovery' and offers advice for those grappling with addiction. This episode isn't just about Tim's past; it's about his ongoing mission to advocate for recovery and support others on their journey.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for a story of resilience and hope, Tim Ryan's tale is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn things around.
