The journey is everybody's journey and relapsing. I would say I'm a hard ass when it comes to sponsoring guys. And so I found that a lot of the guys I had sponsored didn't really want it and I stopped sponsoring guys.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, only to rise and build a life beyond your wildest dreams. That’s exactly what Mark Rickert did. In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, hosted by Omar Pinto, Mark opens up about his tumultuous journey from childhood abandonment and addiction to becoming a thriving real estate broker and podcast host.
Abandoned by his mother at a young age, Mark’s early life was a series of hardships that led him down a dark path of drug and alcohol abuse. Multiple suicide attempts and legal troubles marked his descent into chaos. Despite joining the navy in an effort to turn his life around, Mark found himself deeper in the clutches of addiction, even becoming a cocaine dealer. His turning point came after numerous failed attempts at sobriety.
With the unwavering support of his ex-wife and a newfound spiritual connection, Mark managed to reclaim his life. Today, he credits his success not just to getting sober but also to embracing entrepreneurship. Starting his own business gave him the control and purpose he needed to stay on track. Mark’s story isn’t just about personal triumph; it’s a testament to the power of community and helping others.
He emphasizes that relapse is often part of the journey but stresses the importance of persistence and support. Through his podcast, Soaring in Sobriety, Mark aims to inspire others by sharing stories of recovery and success. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how far you’ve fallen, there’s always a way back up.
