Henry Love: Embracing Sobriety and Rediscovering Life

Sobriety has given me more than my addiction ever took from me.
What does it take to turn a life around after years of addiction? In this heartfelt episode of 'Strength in Recovery', host Jaye Rodenbush sits down with Henry Love, an Alumni Coordinator at RCA's St. Charles, IL facility, to explore his transformative journey to sobriety. Henry's story is one of grit, faith, and the relentless pursuit of a better life.
From battling addiction and legal troubles to finding solace and strength through his church, Henry shares the pivotal moments that shaped his path to recovery. Henry opens up about some of his darkest times, including using heroin while in prison and the ongoing battle he faced even after his release. But his story isn't just about struggle; it's also about triumph.
Henry talks about the symbolic act of walking across the bridge at the RCA campus, a metaphor for crossing from a life of addiction to one of recovery. He emphasizes the importance of celebrating milestones and rediscovering hobbies and interests that were lost during his years of addiction. One of the key messages Henry shares is the importance of 'doing the work' in recovery. For him, relapse is not an option because it would mean losing everything he holds dear.
He passionately discusses the 'gifts of sobriety', explaining how sobriety has given him more than his addiction ever took away. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and hope in their own recovery journey. Join Jaye and Henry as they delve into the challenges and rewards of sobriety, offering a fresh perspective on finding strength in recovery.
