  • Summary

  • "I tell people if I can do it, anybody can do it. You know? I struggled with meth addiction for 35 years." - Lonnie

    Lonnie's story is one of overcoming a decades-long battle with substance use, including multiple incarcerations, the loss of family, and hitting rock bottom. However, through a spiritual awakening in prison, renewed recovery efforts with the support of his partner Mandy, and his work as a peer support specialist, Lonnie has found purpose and fulfillment in helping others on their own recovery journeys. His story provides hope and inspiration that recovery is possible, even after experiencing the darkest of circumstances.

    Here is some of what Adam and Lonnie discuss:

    • Addiction is powerful and relentless, but recovery is possible, even after years of struggle
    • The power of faith and community can be transformative in the journey of recovery
    • Perseverance and the willingness to get back up after setbacks are crucial for long-term success
    • Sharing one's story and using lived experience to support others can be incredibly meaningful and impactful

    Lonnie's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of faith.
