  • I’m so glad I found your podcast.

    The recovery stories shared have really hit home with me. They’ve reminded me of the struggles and victories throughout my sobriety years. I was a dual addict and getting sober was so difficult for me. As I approach my 39th year of living in the freedom of God’s amazing grace, I am filled with deep gratitude for another twenty-four. Thanks again. Your podcast means so much to so many people.

  • Raw from the Heart

    Vic just listened to your story Part 2…more of your open honest sometimes raw sometimes funny always hit home from the heart stories. Not in rehab, not recovering, maybe not in any of the life situations your stories are about but still find the greatest inspiration from every one of them that can apply to any kind of struggle one faces. You’re a gem, keep on keeping on!

    Vic Vela’s honesty and rawness resonates with any of us that have ever asked “Why God?” and felt as though we couldn’t keep pushing on. And we are many, in all walks of life. Thank you Vic for putting yourself out there, congratulations on your years of sobriety, and yes; life keeps piling on and we keep powering through…thank you for your willingness to share and encourage by example.

  • Compassion

    I stumbled across your podcast while supporting multiple friends going through rehab. I love the stories you share as it helped me have empathy for addicts rather than judgement. You really have changed my view on addicts. Thanks for sharing your stories.
