Ryan's Redemption: Overcoming Addiction and Crime on Armed With Tracks

I'm not an asshole, I'm not the best person in the world, no, but I'm working on myself.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of addiction and crime? Meet Ryan, whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode of 'Armed With Tracks', Ryan opens up about his tumultuous upbringing, marked by his father's departure when he was just four and his mother's turbulent relationships. As he grew older, the pain and chaos led him to drugs and alcohol, spiraling into a life of criminal behavior and multiple arrests.
But hitting rock bottom became the turning point for Ryan. Faced with serious charges, he realized it was time for a change. His journey to recovery wasn't smooth sailing. Ryan struggled with basic necessities like shelter and food, often resorting to crime to support his addiction. Despite numerous stints in treatment centers, his criminal record made it challenging to find lasting help. However, Ryan's story takes a hopeful turn as he finds the support and community he desperately needed.
He credits his sponsor and the 12-step program for playing pivotal roles in his recovery. Through dedication to personal growth and the unwavering support of his community, Ryan transformed his life. This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of support in overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear Ryan's inspiring journey and discover how recovery is possible, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
