“Still Here 91324: Building a Recovery Network One Ride at a Time”-claws out 13

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Still Here 91324, the founder of a grassroots recovery foundation that’s already changing lives across his state. His mission is simple but ambitious: to create a network of support that eventually expands into every state, with a partner in each location running their own branch of the foundation. It’s a vision of nationwide solidarity, built from the ground up by someone who knows firsthand what service means. Still Here shares the incredible dedication behind his work—driving people to recovery meetings from all corners of his state, sometimes spending hours on the road and paying for gas out of his own pocket. He talks about the sacrifices he’s made, including pulling money from his retirement savings to launch and fund the foundation, proving that his commitment to recovery isn’t just words—it’s action. We also dive into the challenges of screening and deciding who the foundation can help. With limited resources, not everyone can be supported, and Still Here speaks candidly about the emotional weight of having to say no. His honesty about the struggles and the victories paints a vivid picture of what grassroots recovery work looks like: messy, exhausting, but deeply rewarding. This episode is about vision, sacrifice, and the relentless drive to make recovery accessible. From the dream of nationwide expansion to the everyday reality of giving rides and funding operations out of pocket, Still Here 91324 shows us what it means to live in service of others. His story is a reminder that recovery isn’t just about personal healing—it’s about building communities where no one has to walk the path alone.
