Rick K. takes you on a heartfelt journey through his life and recovery in this episode of Recovery Radio Network. Speaking at the Edmonton Winter Roundup, Rick opens up about his childhood in Ontario, growing up in a family with a severely disabled sister and a father who drank heavily. He shares how these early experiences shaped his understanding of alcohol and its role in his life.

Rick's storytelling is both raw and humorous, making you feel like you're right there with him through every twist and turn of his journey.

He talks about the struggles he faced with learning disabilities, the joy of finding love, and the challenges of becoming a father.

By the end of the episode, you'll be moved by Rick's gratitude for the life he's built through sobriety and the support of his AA family.
