Text and Be Heard From rock bottom to keynote speaker, Ron"s remarkable 32-year sobriety journey reveals the transformative power of recovery when proper foundations are laid. After treatment at Carrier Foundation, Ron followed crucial advice that changed everything: attending a meeting his very first day out and never leaving without knowing when his next meeting would be. The magic of recovery lies not just in the program but in human connection. When Ron nervously attended his first meeting, he wasn"t bombarded with recovery talk—instead, a member named Jimmy simply chatted with him about the New York Rangers. This moment of normalcy became a lifeline, creating a sense of belonging that"s still strong decades later. Through small steps like coffee commitments and gradually sharing his experience, Ron rebuilt his shattered self-esteem, transforming from someone who "couldn"t hold a job" into a successful leadership trainer running his own company for over 20 years. What makes Ron"s story so powerful is how recovery delivered on its promises. Dreams that seemed impossible during active addiction became beautiful realities—becoming a leadership trainer after admiring his ex-wife"s career from the sidelines, enjoying 30 seasons as a Giants ticket holder, and experiencing the majesty of an African sunset with his wife. Standing on stage as a keynote speaker, Ron had a profound realization: none of these achievements would have happened without sobriety. His journey reminds us that recovery isn"t just about stopping destructive behaviors—it"s about creating a life so rich with meaning that returning to addiction loses all appeal. As Ron said while watching an African sunset with his wife: "It doesn"t get better than this." Support the show Recovery is Beautiful. Go Live Your Best Life!!
