From Gangs to Giving Back: Henry Rodriguez's Path to Sobriety
I'm talking about real trees, not marijuana or anything like that, right, and you could see them like sweeping the dirt right and um, and it's like there's humanity still in there.
Picture this: a young man deeply entrenched in gang life and drug addiction, only to find himself on a transformative journey to sobriety and community service. That's the story of Henry Rodriguez, featured in this episode of 'Not So Anonymous with EJ Erreca'. Henry's life took a dramatic turn after a fellow gang member's comment about his gaunt appearance hit home. Hooked on meth and facing criminal charges, Henry knew he had to change.
His path to recovery wasn't easy, but it led him to establish a non-profit that organizes sober living homes in Stockton, CA, and launch a clothing brand promoting clean living. In his conversation with EJ, Henry talks about the highs and lows of his journey, the importance of friendship and accountability, and the power of giving back. It's a raw, real, and inspiring tale that shows how anyone can turn their life around with the right support and determination.
