Matt Bair and Ryan Hedrick reflect on their recovery journey. Over the last several years, they've faced significant challenges, but they haven't returned to drugs or alcohol. They discuss how that’s been possible, their caregivers' role, and what it’s like to stay in recovery while handling the ups and downs of everyday life.
Caregivers—whether family, friends, or mentors—can be the difference between staying stuck and moving forward. For many in recovery, that kind of support can shift the entire direction of their lives.
