We open the series by speaking with Phil, who recounts his struggle with powerlessness over his addiction. But ultimately it's that powerlessness that is the cornerstone of his recovery.

Episode 2 Finding Hope and Surrender

Ron Chapman believes there are no self-made men or women. “All I have and all I am came from people and circumstances for which I cannot claim credit. While I don't define myself much anymore as the product of any specific hardship, I have been drawn in ways I could not resist. Had I not been drawn, I could never have succeeded in the face of some daunting life challenges.” One of those key challenges was the battle with addiction, a battle that Ron has waged continuously for three decades of sobriety. During this time he has dedicated himself to helping others through their own Progressive Recovery.
