When you wake up every morning knowing that you know where your child is and knowing that his life is on track today and everything seems to be clicking in the right direction, it feels like a miracle, it's like a new life.
Ever wondered how a single conversation can spark hope in the darkest times?

Ray introduces us to Billy H., a man who has been clean for five years but still faces the daily challenges of staying sober.
This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't one-size-fits-all; it’s a personal journey that requires patience, support, and sometimes alternative methods. Ray and his guests share their own experiences, discussing the opioid crisis, the meth epidemic, and the overprescribing of addictive medications. They emphasize the importance of looking in the mirror and taking responsibility for one’s actions, while also acknowledging that sometimes medication-assisted therapy is necessary.
The conversation touches on the power of twelve-step programs but also highlights the need for individualized approaches to recovery. One of the most touching moments comes when Ray shares a personal story about his son's recovery, describing it as nothing short of miraculous. By the end of the episode, listeners are left with a message of hope and transformation, encouraged to join the conversation and seek out alternative options for recovery.
