I love the relationships that I've gotten to build as a result of coming around this club. I love the men that are in this club, right, I do, I love it.
Imagine growing up in a world where chaos is the norm and alcohol is as common as water. This episode of 'Bikers Speak on Recovery' features Chad and Rex, two men from the Riverside chapter of the Messengers of Recovery, who share their raw and riveting journeys from addiction to sobriety. Chad opens up about his rocky childhood, marked by multiple group home expulsions and a near-fatal stabbing at a gas station.
His life took a dark turn, landing him in jail where he first encountered Alcoholics Anonymous but struggled to find his footing until he hit rock bottom. Rex, on the other hand, grew up in a family where drinking was a daily ritual. He learned to deceive and manipulate from a young age, skills that only deepened his addiction. His road to recovery began when he realized the importance of building genuine relationships and making amends for past wrongs.
Both men highlight the transformative power of working the steps and finding spirituality in recovery. They also discuss the crucial role of support systems, especially their involvement with the Messengers of Recovery, which has helped them forge meaningful connections with others on the same path. Chad and Rex's stories serve as powerful reminders that no matter how far one has fallen, it's never too late to turn things around.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, offering practical advice and emotional support for those on their own journey to recovery.
