Patrick Legenzoff is known as the "Sober Investor". His story is one of the most powerful I have ever heard. He grew up in a broken home. His mother was a drug addict and also the neighborhood drug dealer. He tried marijuana at age 10. He took a hit of meth at age 11. He, too, began slinging drugs and became a criminal before the age of 18. How did Patrick break the cycle of trauma & addiction? Does he have a relationship with his mother? How did he turn his life around to become an entrepreneur and an incredibly successful investor? Patrick owns 10 sober livings and a treatment center, Solutions of Sobriety. He drops some wisdom in this episode!

Hannah Kirkpatrick will tell you that she's never experienced trauma and had what she describes as the "perfect childhood". She somehow ended up abusing alcohol - she says she became a food addict & depressed. She battled perfectionism, trying to be the perfect person for everyone. Her world came crashing down. Everything fell apart including her marriage. But, she got help. She admitted herself into an outpatient program and got involved in multiple 12-step recovery groups. Then, she ran for Mrs. American and won with a platform of overcoming addiction. I had lots of questions like "how does someone with no trauma become an addict?" Hannah may have had an ah-ha moment during the podcast and realized she did in fact suffer quite a bit of trauma in her childhood that sent her life spiraling. This has to be one of the most fascinating podcasts I have ever recorded.

Kim B has a powerful story about survival. She was sexually abused by a family member when she was a child. But no one believed her which caused her even more trauma. She turned to drugs to escape. The numb felt better than her reality. Now, Kim is the primary therapist at one of the best treatment centers in Arizona, Pinnacle Peak Recovery. She's also a supporter of harm reduction (so am I). We talk about meeting addicts where they're currently at and talk about way to heal from trauma.

This is a really raw conversation about romanticizing relapse and the shame we feel about even having those thoughts. They say in recovery "just tell someone before you relapse." Well, truth be told, it's not that easy. What if we normalized the conversation about relapse, because the majority of people in recovery have experienced it. Wouldn't that make it easier for someone to come forward and share with someone else that they're thinking about it. If we carry shame about even the thought of it, then most people won't/don't say anything to anyone fearing their reaction. Here's my very candid conversation with a good recovery friend of mine, Tyler Tisdale, who owns one of the premiere recovery centers in Arizona: Pinnacle Peak Recovery.

This has been such an honor to be the host of the 2021 Celebrate The Art Of Recovery Expo (CARE) in Arizona. All month long we are discussing drug prevention & recovery. From talking about all the new drugs on the streets that are killing our youth, to social media platforms giving drug dealers unfettered access to your child. It's all hands on deck. #recovery #addiction #addictionrecovery #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters

It still baffles me that a 13 year old can be on Snapchat. Why does any kid need to be on an app where people can track them... essentially spy on them.. and even worse: target them with drugs. Yes, Drug dealers are on snapchat and they are going after your child. Full stop. This is not about cute filters. This is not about having fun. This is serious stuff. I sit down with Sgt Ashley Thompson with the Arizona Army National Guard. She specializes in teaching parents about the dangers of social media and the impact its having on our youth... especially drug abuse. We break down the dirty tricks dealers are using along with the code words to help educate our community.

Tyler Tisdale is the owner & founder of Pinnacle Peak Recovery in Arizona. He knows what it's like to suffer trauma. He witnessed addiction in his own family. He swore he'd never get caught up in drugs. But, he eventually became everything he once despised. He stole from his friends to fuel his addiction. He stole cash. He ended up in former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's famed pink underwear at the 4th Avenue Jail in Phoenix. Now, with more than a decade sober, Tyler owns and operates Pinnacle Peak Recovery in Scottsdale. It's a premiere treatment center with an incredible staff to help addicts heal.

In this episode of Escaping Rock Bottom we talk with Bryan from Calvary Healing Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Bryan is not only a recovering addict, but Bryan got sober at Calvary Healing Center and now he works there. He says the program saved his life, and now he's able to carry the message to others looking for a new life of sobriety. He also talks about the modalities they offer and what you should be looking for in a treatment center.
