Tim Ryan - American Recovery Advocate
from The Payoff - Stories of Sobriety
If Tim Ryan's life story was sent to a Hollywood producer, they'd probably ask the screenwriter to go back and make it more realistic. But it's all true. Tim struggled with addiction for 30 years. At the age of 32, he first used heroin and quickly slid into spending a substantial amount of money on illicit opioids. He was a successful technology entrepreneur who used a variety of drugs including alcohol, cocaine and heroin to keep the train going. During his stay in prison, Tim joined the drug and alcohol treatment program. He became sober, attended group meetings and therapy sessions, and actively participated in the prison's rehabilitation program. He was paroled in late 2013 after serving 13 months of a seven-year sentence. Then the dope man became the Hope Man. This is an incredible story about one man's journey to get sober and how he's trying to take millions of people with him.Tim Ryan - Recovery Advocatehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Ryan_(recovery_advocate)Dope to Hopehttps://dopetohope.com/From Dope to Hope: A man in Recoveryhttps://www.amazon.com/Dope-Hope-Man-Recovery/dp/0984591729Tim Ryan - Dope Man on A&Ehttps://youtu.be/Gov-eSfS6IQ Learn more about your ad choices.
