You can probably get recovery at most treatment facilities, but if you really want an opportunity to get a good, solid program and then have a good fellowship after the fact, then I think Crossroads and the Crossroads family would be a great place to do that.
Imagine growing up in a family of addicts, bouncing in and out of prison, and then finding yourself homeless. That was Wes Tharp's reality until he discovered the recovery community at Crossroads. In this episode of 'Recovery On-Air', host Greg Halverson sits down with Wes, who now serves as the maintenance warehouse manager at Crossroads. Wes opens up about his tumultuous past, including the moment he was shot and how that became a turning point for him.
Through candid conversation, Wes explains the peer-driven treatment model at Crossroads and how emulating the recovery journey of others who have succeeded helped him find his own path. He shares his incredible transformation from a life marred by addiction and crime to one filled with purpose and stability. Beyond his work, Wes also talks about his love for the outdoors and his hopes for the future.
This episode offers a raw and inspiring look into the struggles and victories that come with recovery, emphasizing the importance of community and meaningful work. If you're looking for a story that proves change is possible, this one's for you.
