Tim Ryan: A Story of Redemption and Recovery on The Recovery Revolution
Never give up, and don't give up on yourself. Thanks, Omar, for making me feel normal, whatever that is. I read in the Facebook group all the time about people that say: you know, I love O's podcast.
Imagine having it all—a six-figure salary, a beautiful home, and a loving family—only to lose everything to addiction. That's the story of Tim Ryan, who joins Omar Pinto on The Recovery Revolution Podcast. Tim's life spiraled out of control when he added heroin to his already dangerous mix of drugs and alcohol. Spending nearly $500 a day to feed his habit, he faced multiple overdoses, rehab stays, and even jail time.
His addiction cost him his career, his marriage, and tragically, led his son down the same dark path. But Tim's story doesn't end in despair. After serving time in Sheridan Correctional Center, he found sobriety behind bars and emerged with a new purpose. In this episode, Tim shares his raw and unfiltered journey from 'Dope to Hope'. He talks about the role of support systems, spirituality, and the importance of accessible recovery resources.
His story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of surrendering to recovery.
