Ever wondered if a few days could change your life? Fernando Gonzalez's story might just convince you. In this episode of 'Came to Believe Recovery', Fernando recounts his eye-opening experience at a recovery retreat in Nevada City, CA. Unlike modern methods, this retreat took participants through the Twelve Steps in just three days—a practice inspired by early Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) traditions. Fernando shares how this intense, immersive approach led to profound changes in his mindset and sobriety journey.

The hosts, Monty, Alicia, and Tom, join Fernando in reflecting on the essence of true recovery principles and the importance of authenticity. They also touch on the broader impact of family dynamics and overcoming addiction challenges. The episode wraps up with an inspiring song, 'I Came to Believe', performed by C3 Worship.
