Embracing Second Chances and the "No Wrong Door" Philosophy in Addiction Recovery
In episode 34 of the Real Recovery Podcast, Peter and Julie interview John Morgan, founder of Another Chance Recovery. His story is one of transformation from a life of crime and addiction to becoming a leader in the recovery community. Through his "No Wrong Door" philosophy, John ensures that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has a safe place to begin their recovery journey.
John's Background:
John’s life in Portland, Oregon, began with exposure to criminal behavior and addiction at a young age. By six years old, he had already encountered the justice system, and his struggles continued through adolescence and adulthood. Despite numerous arrests and a challenging path, John found the strength to turn his life around, becoming the founder of Another Chance Recovery, where he now helps others find their way to sobriety.
Struggles and Turning Points:
John’s life was marked by moments of despair and near defeat. He speaks of his many stints in prison, but it was during one such sentence that he experienced a profound realization: “I was responsible. I couldn’t blame anybody but myself, and that was the gift of accountability.” This marked the beginning of his transformation and commitment to recovery.

Building Another Chance Recovery:
John’s philosophy is simple yet powerful: "No Wrong Door." Another Chance Recovery operates under this belief, ensuring that no one is turned away, no matter their history or struggles. John emphasizes, “As long as you’re breathing and have the ability to show up for yourself, you deserve another chance.” His center offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals can find the support they need to rebuild their lives.
John Morgan’s journey from a life of crime to founding Another Chance Recovery is a testament to the power of second chances. His "No Wrong Door" philosophy reflects his unwavering belief that everyone, regardless of their past, can achieve recovery. This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation is always possible.
