In this edition of The Way Out, recovery podcast co-host Jason has a tremendous interview with two persons in long term recovery and a true power couple in the recovery community, Aleksandra Bembnista and Tony Cassese. Aleksandra is the founder of the nonprofit organization Glorious Recovery, and Tony is an addiction recovery professional. We get to hear their individual stories and talk about how they met. We'll also learn what Glorious Recovery is all about, how they bring joy to people in recovery, and explore what the future looks like for each of them! There's a whole lot of passion for Recovery and Recovery wisdom shared in the enlightening Recovery centric discussion that’s about to unfold right before your very ears so listen up.

Best piece of advice:

Alex = "Open your eyes! The recovery world is so BIG! Recovery can be whatever you want it to be!"

Tony = "Identify and maintain your own balance" and "You can't save your ass and your face at the same time."
