Music and videography are the foundation of his existence. In even of his darkest times –battling addiction, his parents' divorce, the untimely deaths of many of his peers at the hands of substance abuse– being creative gave him a sense of purpose.
What does it take to turn a life mired in addiction into one filled with purpose and creativity? Patrick Ridge, the owner of Graceland Ranch, knows this journey all too well. In this episode of 'Peji's Recovery Corner', Patrick sits down with host Pej Alaghamandan to share his powerful story of getting sober at just 21 years old.
Through music and videography, Patrick found a way to navigate the darkest periods of his life, including his parents' divorce and the tragic loss of many friends to substance abuse. Graceland Ranch isn't just a treatment center; it's a haven where structure, love, and creativity come together to foster recovery. Patrick talks about the unique approach they take at Graceland Ranch and how it has positively impacted residents.
He also opens up about the hurdles he faced in the recovery community, dealing with judgment and negativity, and how he uses social media as a tool to reach out to others struggling with addiction. This episode is a raw and honest look at the importance of vulnerability and honesty in achieving lasting sobriety. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Patrick's story offers hope and practical insights that can make a difference.
