I've got 34 years, 32 now. We're going on 33 years working together now. I guess when I see somebody change, you know, when I mentioned you were playing softball and stuff, then when you share it, I go, no way. But that's what I try to focus on now, you know. If you don't like it, what makes you think they like it?
What happens when a functional addict hits rock bottom and finds a new path? In this gripping episode of 'Not So Anonymous with EJ Erreca', we hear the raw and powerful story of Jose Tachiquin. For nearly 12 years, Jose managed to juggle his addiction while keeping up appearances, but the facade eventually crumbled, leading to a life that was anything but manageable.
From spending time behind bars to facing the threat of deportation, Jose's journey is one of extreme lows and incredible highs. His turning point came in December 1988, when a judge saw something in him worth saving and gave him a second chance. Jose took that chance and never looked back. With 34 years of sobriety under his belt, he shares the challenges he faced, the anger he had to overcome, and the lessons he learned along the way.
This episode isn't just about addiction; it's about resilience, redemption, and the transformative power of recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Jose's story offers hope and inspiration.
