Episode 3 is especially special to me because my guest is a woman of great strength and desire to live life on life's terms while living her best life within the recovery community. Niky G. is the type of woman whom you'd want your child to be mentored by. Her story is extremely compelling and raw. She has overcome a lot of obstacles and doesn't deny that life still hands her lemons sometimes. What is different now is how she deals with life on life's terms...with dignity, reaching out, being of service, using her tool-belt and telling her story of pain, sex, drugs, and alcohol.

Please feel free to email me at breaking_chains@icloud.com with any questions that you may have for Niky G.

Join in on the conversation as I chat with funny-girl and beautiful friend, Kristin, as she lets us in on her journey before, during and after accepting recovery. Kristin is a great roll model for the LGBT community as well as anyone who wants what she has...SOBRIETY! Please feel free to email me at breaking_chains@icloud.com with any questions for Kristin or suggestions or questions for this podcast.

This is episode one of Breaking Chains: From Surviving to Thriving, the Real Stories. My first guest is not only in recovery but is also a therapist and an all around great guy. Chris was born and raised in California and currently resides in Hermosa Beach. Chris' story is a compelling story and not unlike so many other stories. Please listen to his story and don't forget to leave feedback, email me at breaking_chains@icloud.com, subscribe and share the podcast with family and friends. Editing was done my freelancer Neil Jackson.
