Smiles all around we merged holiday sized efforts and last-minute additions. The boys welcomed a former pro sports announcer who graciously shared his journey of overcoming alcoholism and celebrated 11 years of recovery with us. We were grateful for his time and insight. He reflected on the darkest moments of his addiction and the turning points that led him to recovery. Living the double life of a functioning alcoholic eventually cost him the very public job his identity was built upon. He found himself blacklisted after a illustrious 20 year career and he shared the success and victories that've come through over a decade of clarity. Perspective is essential for surviving addiction and it's the agent of true change. Recovery parallels the spirit of Easter—resurrection, growth, and new beginnings. Here at Talkin' Trash, we all about happy Easter's and we share a collective mindset that nobody is beyond help.
