For me to be able to process it like that, and being busted a lot and being in the scene, you had to really be tough, and I was finally in a place where I felt safe, you know, and I can say that you know a lot of my friends that are tough and all look like somebody you'd be scared of if you've seen them all have fears too.
Imagine the roar of engines and the camaraderie of a biker gang, now focused on conquering addiction. This episode of 'Bikers speak on Recovery' takes you into a heartfelt speaker meeting where members share their journeys through their first year of sobriety.
