Reflecting on Three Years of the 217 Recovery Podcast
I'm just grateful for the brothers that are around me and my support system. It's unbelievable and I'm just in a really good spot.

With just one microphone and a lot of heart, Corey, Rob, and Matt kicked off what would become a beacon of hope for many in recovery.
This episode isn't just a trip down memory lane. It's a celebration of growth, resilience, and community. Corey opens up about the early days, sharing the raw and real struggles of addiction and the power of having a support system. From addictive thinking to cravings, Corey dives into the challenges faced and the dreams that kept him going.
Marney joins in to highlight how far they've come, not just as a podcast but as a non-profit organization that's making a real difference. They talk about the importance of dreaming big and finding strength in being part of something greater than oneself. Corey's candid reflections on dealing with depression and physical addiction offer a poignant reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just looking for some inspiration, this episode is a testament to the power of community and the importance of never giving up. Tune in for a mix of heartfelt stories, practical advice, and a celebration of milestones that remind us all why we keep going.
