Rick shares his powerful journey through addiction, recovery, and life-saving medical experiences, offering insights and hope for those battling similar struggles. His look at addiction is different from our previous episodes in that it was so embedded in his life, prior to deciding on recovery. Throughout my career in law enforcement, it is rare to see someone truly recover with the odds stacked against them the longer they are in it. He fought the odds and now wants other to join in with him on being sober and living a full life.
