The opioid epidemic is out of control. So many people I know, including myself, have fallen into the grips of this evil addiction. Many from my recovery groups have relapsed and have died during the COVID pandemic. We are unable to meet and get the support and camaraderie we need to get through one more day.
With a lot of hard work and support from my family, I have gone through detox and recovery to being clean for the last 18 months.
Through the help of my sponsor, I plan to visit every Gateway recovery facility in Illinois, along with hospitals and institutions across the country, to share my story and offer those still fighting hope and a chance to discuss their journey.
The objective is to ride my motorcycle for the year or more it will take to visit all the locations, camping along the way and helping myself stay clean by doing my passion, riding.
