In the realm of recovery, every story holds the power to touch lives, inspire change, and foster a sense of belonging among those navigating their paths back to light. The Real Recovery Podcast is thrilled to share one such compelling narrative in our latest episode, featuring our co-host Julie P. Julie's tale is not just a story of overcoming addiction; it's a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative power of hope and healing.
The Turning Point

From the excitement of new freedoms to the lure of nightlife and the devastating introduction to substances, her path took a dramatic turn. Julie candidly opens up about the challenges of navigating addiction, incarceration, and the pursuit of sobriety, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into the realities of recovery.
Lessons Learned
Throughout her nearly three decades of sobriety, Julie has gleaned insights that extend far beyond personal growth. She speaks to the significance of chosen families, the role of supportive communities, and the importance of professional guidance. Her story underscores the crucial understanding that while recovery is a deeply personal journey, it is also a collective experience, enriched by the connections we forge and the support systems we build.
A Beacon of Hope
Julie's narrative is a beacon for anyone feeling lost in the shadow of their struggles. It serves as a reminder that transformation is possible, no matter how insurmountable obstacles may seem. Her resilience, coupled with an unwavering commitment to recovery, illustrates the profound impact of facing one's fears, embracing change, and stepping into a life defined by freedom and fulfillment.

In the quiet moments before the dawn of a new venture, the Real Recovery Podcast team is already buzzing with activity. The latest pre-show episode, number three, is not just a mere update—it's the story of passion, community, and the transformative power of shared experiences in the world of recovery.
​

Peter B, alongside his co-host Julie, dedicates this episode to the labor of love that has been the preparation for their forthcoming series. It's more than a podcast; it's a mission to give back to a community that has given so much to them, to share the mosaic of stories that form the collective journey of sobriety and recovery.
​
Peter opens up about his own path to recovery, seven plus years in the making, and the critical role community played in his journey. From the local Alano club where he first sought solace and support to finding his true fit with a group at the Sunnyside Church, Peter's narrative is one of discovery, honesty, and the quest for a place to be unapologetically oneself.

As they gear up for the official launch at the North Coast Roundup in April, the team has been diligently working behind the scenes, curating a guest list that promises to bring diverse and inspiring stories to the fore. These tales are not just anecdotes; they are lifelines thrown into the turbulent seas of addiction, meant to pull listeners towards a horizon of hope.

The podcast is poised to be a platform supported by its listeners, with a vision to not only sustain its creation but to extend its reach into the community through scholarships and support for those in need. As Peter shares, the aspiration is to leave a legacy—one of inspiration and aid long after the microphones go silent.
​
This weekend, Peter and Julie will record the opening and closing segments that will bookend the episodes to come. It's a small step in the technical process but a giant leap in their journey as storytellers and advocates for recovery.
