This week, we have the privilege of sitting down with Eddie, someone who truly gets it. From the moment we met about a year ago, I knew Eddie was all in when it came to recovery—not just for himself, but for everyone still battling substance abuse. His journey is one of resilience, commitment, and a deep passion for helping others.
During this conversation, we touch on several important themes, but what stands out the most is Eddie’s dedication to fatherhood, the meaningful relationships he’s built through his sobriety, and his unwavering desire to help others who are struggling. Eddie is living proof that recovery is possible anywhere—it’s not about the circumstances, but about being broken enough to be open to change, and being willing to take the suggestions that can save your life.
As you listen, you’ll hear about Eddie’s incredible willingness to stay teachable, no matter how long he’s been clean. His story is one of hope, and we’re so grateful to him for making the trip from Boston to share it with us.
Thank you, Eddie, for being a beacon of hope and inspiration!
