God and sobriety can show up in the most unlikely of places, even a world-famous bar.
Imagine finding faith and sobriety in a place you'd least expect—a world-famous biker bar. In this riveting episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer and Denver Wolfe sit down with Charisse Tyson, an author and life coach with a remarkable story. Charisse, who once owned Johnny’s Bar & Grill in Hollister, California, shares her journey from fear to faith, revealing how she found God and sobriety amidst the clamor of motorcycles and the camaraderie of bikers.
Charisse and her alcoholic husband bought the bar without knowing much about the biker community. Initially, she was apprehensive, but soon she found that the bikers were 'the most wonderful people' she had ever met. Despite becoming part of this tight-knit group, her husband's drinking worsened, leading to their eventual divorce. This turning point led Charisse to Al-Anon, where she found the support she needed to overcome her codependency. Through faith and prayer, Charisse navigated her challenging journey to recovery.
Her story underscores that God can appear in the most unexpected places and that true healing is always within reach. During the episode, Charisse also delves into the history of Johnny's Bar & Grill, which played a significant role in shaping the image of American bikers. She recounts the infamous Hollister riot and its lasting impact on biker culture. Charisse's narrative is a testament to breaking free from religious traditionalism and embracing faith wherever you are.
As she and her husband plan a cross-country trip to share their message, listeners are reminded that recovery is always possible and that hope can be found in the unlikeliest of places. Tune into this captivating episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' to hear Charisse Tyson's inspiring tale of faith, sobriety, and community.
