Episode #112: From Darkness to Strength

What this episode covers

Today, David, Brynn, and Daniel sit down with Erin Rees, a coach, a survivor, and a woman who’s turned her biggest struggles into her greatest strengths. She is joined by her husband / business partner at Crossfit Comeback, Adam Rees. Erin shares her heartfelt journey—from her love of sports and fitness to hitting her lowest point in her battle with alcoholism and then finding hope and purpose through CrossFit and community. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t just about overcoming addiction — it’s about reclaiming your life, step by step, with compassion and resilience. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, Erin’s story will inspire you to keep going and to believe in the possibility of a real comeback. We want to thank the Sons of Sobriety Motorcycle Club for making today’s episode possible. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576881024819 #RecoveryJourney #StrengthInRecovery #CommunitySupport #Resilience #MentalHealthMatters #Inspiration Check out Crossfit Comeback at 205 Johnston Place.
