My life mission is to share my inspirational journey as an EMS lifesaver to prevention educator and the grace that saved me from my own high-risk choices.
Imagine crawling into an overturned car soaked in gasoline, blood, and alcohol, only to witness three young victims take their last breaths. That was a typical morning for Reggie Davis, a paramedic who would later have his first drink of the day at 7:00 a.m.
This episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live' brings you the gripping story of Reggie Davis, a man who spent 33 years as a paramedic and 29 years in the Air Force Reserve, retiring as a Chief Master Sergeant. But it's his journey from high-risk choices and addiction to becoming a prevention educator that truly captivates. Reggie opens up about his own struggles with alcohol and drugs, which nearly led him to incarceration.
His turning point came through surrendering and seeking grace, allowing him to transform his life and dedicate himself to helping others avoid the same pitfalls. Now with 36 years of sobriety, Reggie has taken on roles like DUI instructor, Veteran Court mentor, and prison volunteer. Throughout the episode, Reggie and the hosts dive into various aspects of addiction and recovery.
They discuss the profound impact addiction has on families and loved ones, emphasizing the importance of community and outreach in the recovery process. One standout segment is the Broken Chains Apparel Contest, which offers a creative outlet for those in recovery and aims to give back to the community. To balance the heavy topics, the hosts also engage in light-hearted discussions. Ever wondered what three things you'd wear when it's cold?
Or what food you'd choose to eat for the rest of your life? These fun questions provide a refreshing break and keep the conversation engaging. Reggie's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of surrender and grace. His journey from paramedic to prevention educator is not just inspiring; it's a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction.
Tune in to 'Recovery Revolution Live' for an episode that promises both inspiration and practical insights into the world of recovery.
