Randy has many years of sobriety, but despite this he works daily to stay sober and recover. He has worked through addiction to alcohol, prescription medications, has been through a difficult divorce - eventually finding strength to come out as a gay man. He talks about religion rejecting him, childhood abuse, suicide attempts, and his life long journey to strengthen his spirituality. Randy is open about the PTSD he suffers from related to his experience as a law enforcement officer. Now he volunteers in correctional facilities, helping those struggling with addiction and recovery. He attends a weekly first responders recovery meeting and is active within the LGBTQ2S and Indigenous communities.
"You're not alone. All you need to do is reach out your hand and somebody will be there." - Randy
