Chris Z: From Rock Bottom to Recovery Advocate

It's not about money, it's about people getting their lives together, man. I think people lose track of that a lot in this industry.
What does it take to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? Chris Z, the owner of Stepping Stones Recovery, opens up about his personal journey through addiction and his mission to create a supportive recovery environment. In this episode of 'Broken Wings', Chris shares how his own struggles led him to establish a treatment facility that prioritizes genuine care over profit.
He dives into the concept of the 'gift of desperation', explaining how reaching his lowest point allowed him to connect deeply with others in similar situations. This connection became the cornerstone of his recovery and the foundation of Stepping Stones Recovery. Chris's story isn't just about getting sober; it's about rebuilding trust and fostering healthy relationships. He talks candidly about the importance of accountability and support, both in personal relationships and within the recovery community.
His experiences highlight the necessity of taking time to work on oneself before diving into new relationships, ensuring that they are built on trust and mutual respect. At Stepping Stones Recovery, Chris aims to offer a different kind of rehab experience. He saw the pitfalls of less scrupulous facilities and wanted to create a place where people could genuinely get their lives back on track, regardless of their financial situation.
His approach is all about doing things the right way, focusing on long-term recovery rather than short-term gains. Chris's journey is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. His commitment to helping others and his belief in the power of community support make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration and practical advice on recovery.
Tune in to hear Chris's powerful story and learn how Stepping Stones Recovery is making a difference in the lives of those battling addiction.
