Finding Strength in Community: Austin and Zaino's Recovery Journey

Community is everything...having a strong support system that rallies around you, cheers you on, and holds you accountable, can make all the difference.
What happens when you find a community that truly understands your struggles? In this episode of 'A Way Through', Austin and Zaino share their powerful stories of battling addiction and finding hope through the support of others. Austin's journey began at just 14 when he was first introduced to AA. After multiple stints in rehab, it wasn't until he was court-ordered to the Texas House at 21 that he began to see real change.
Similarly, Zaino faced his own battles with addiction, first encountering AA at 19 while on probation. It took years of struggle before he found his footing at the Texas House at 31. Both men discuss how the structure and discipline of the Texas House program helped them transform their lives. Austin emphasizes that he wasn't a bad person trying to become good, but someone with a problem who needed help. Zaino talks about creating the G.U.T.S.
program, which focuses on personal growth and accountability. Together, they highlight the importance of having a strong support system that holds you accountable and celebrates your victories. This episode is a testament to the power of community in recovery. Through their heartfelt stories, Austin and Zaino remind us that recovery is possible and that support is always available. Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope and practical advice for navigating the journey to sobriety.
