This month, Jaye sits with two of our newest RCA Alumni Coordinators, Marty Dunphy and Peter Gregory, to talk through different coping skills they've learned in recovery. We learn about the disconnect between one's old life in addiction and their new, the importance of being patient with your new self, and finding sober friends in unsuspecting places (like a Grateful Dead concert!) Our friend Marty leaves us with an incredible surprise at the end of this episode - you'll just have to listen to find out! This powerful episode is a must-listen for those in the recovery community. We hope you enjoy. *The views and opinions expressed by the guests of this podcast are their own and not necessarily those of RCA.

Hello listeners, and welcome to Season 2 of the Strength in Recovery podcast: real people, real experiences, real hope. 2022 was an incredible year for the RCA Alumni Team – aside from launching this podcast, our team was able to host recovery meetings every day, host free events for our Alumni community, and save lives by helping people start their recovery journey in our treatment centers.

Together we’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll relate, we’ll gain new perspectives, and ultimately we will continue on this road together to ensure that 2023 is a year of health, happiness, and growth.
