NSAw/EJ Ep 4- Richard Ayala

My name is EJ Erreca I am in recovery from the disease of addiction. My clean date is 6-19-16, there was a time in my life when I put the use of drugs above anything else in my life. I gave away everything as a result of my disease. Finding recovery has enabled me to gain these things back and much more along the way. We created this podcast to highlight the beautiful people I have met on my recovery journey. The hope is for this podcast to reach people who may need to hear the message that any addict can stop using, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live. Though this podcast is made for the addict, we also hope that it can provide a better understanding of the disease addiction to anyone who may stumble upon it. God bless and thank you for visiting this page. We love you.
