It's interesting about willing to take a risk like that. So you know what that is going to lead to is a lifestyle of partying, um, and you know the culture in and of itself is a bit like that.
Ever wondered how a skateboard can be a lifeline in the battle against addiction? Ray Newlin, a lifelong resident of Lancaster, PA, joins host Steve Martorano on Recovery Radio to share his gripping story of addiction, recovery, and relentless advocacy. Raised amidst early hardships, including the loss of his mother and a father struggling with alcoholism, Ray's journey is one of resilience and transformation.
He opens up about his own struggles with addiction and the tough road to recovery, shedding light on the importance of sober living as a bridge between treatment and real-world challenges. But Ray's story doesn't end with his personal recovery. He's the founder of Street Certified Dope, an initiative that encourages open conversations about addiction and guides individuals towards effective help. Ray's passion for skateboarding also plays a pivotal role in his advocacy.
He discusses how skateboarding can serve as a positive outlet for children, offering them a sense of community and purpose. Through fundraisers and events, Ray's foundation not only promotes the sport but also provides kids with access to skateboarding as a constructive activity. This episode is a testament to the power of recovery and the impact one person can have on their community.
