Growing up in Lancaster, PA, Ray Newlin faced a turbulent childhood marked by the loss of his mother and a father struggling with alcoholism. These early hardships set the stage for Ray's own battles with addiction. However, Ray's story doesn't end in despair; it's a tale of resilience and redemption. After years of struggling with his demons, Ray found a path to recovery and has since dedicated his life to helping others navigate their own journeys to sobriety.
In this episode of Recovery Radio, Ray opens up about his personal struggles and the pivotal moments that led to his recovery. He shares how these experiences inspired him to create Cornerstone, a successful sober living business designed to help individuals transition from inpatient treatment to independent living. Ray's passion for supporting others extends beyond his business; he also discusses Nick's foundation, established in memory of a friend who died from a drug overdose.
The foundation aims to provide education and support for those affected by addiction.

Throughout the episode, Ray underscores the importance of integrating mental health treatment with substance abuse recovery, stressing that ongoing support and education are crucial for lasting sobriety.
This episode is a compelling listen for anyone touched by addiction, offering not just inspiration but practical advice on creating supportive environments for recovery.
