We aren't saving them, we're actually saving ourselves. Yeah, I realize that, but you are saving them too.
What happens when you mix the rugged world of biker clubs with the challenging journey of sobriety? Filmmaker Jill Heinerth has the answers. In this episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, Jill sits down with host Robert McClellan to share her eye-opening experiences working with sober biker clubs.
The Real Sobriety film, which revolves around a sober motorcycle club, sets the stage for a deep dive into a unique subculture where the roar of engines meets the quest for a clean life. Jill, who is also Robert's wife, offers a fascinating look at how she broke through the tough exterior of biker culture to uncover stories of struggle, redemption, and unwavering support. She describes her initial apprehensions and how she was determined to meet these bikers face-to-face, person-to-person.
What she found were remarkable individuals who had not only fought their own battles with addiction but were also saving lives within their community. One of the most powerful moments Jill recalls is hearing the phrase, 'If you're sitting there with a gun in your mouth, you're our people.' This stark message of outreach and support struck a chord, and months later, they received letters from individuals who had been in that exact situation.
These stories highlight the profound sense of camaraderie and the life-saving impact of these sober biker clubs. Jill's reflections offer hope and inspiration to anyone on their recovery journey, proving that support can be found in the most unexpected places. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a heartfelt glimpse into a world where brotherhood and sobriety ride side by side.
