Yeah, for sure, sometimes you take two steps back, but we got to remember that there's still light, you know.
Randy's story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Despite years of sobriety, Randy continues to work diligently every day to maintain his recovery. His journey through addiction to alcohol and prescription medications, a tough divorce, and coming out as a gay man is nothing short of inspiring. Randy's experiences with childhood abuse, suicide attempts, and rejection by religion have shaped his lifelong quest to strengthen his spirituality.
In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', Randy opens up about his battles with PTSD from his time as a law enforcement officer and how he now channels his energy into helping others. He volunteers in correctional facilities, supports first responders in recovery, and is active within the LGBTQ2S and Indigenous communities. Randy’s message is clear: 'You're not alone. All you need to do is reach out your hand and somebody will be there'.
His story is a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar struggles, showing that recovery is possible with perseverance and community support.
