Why I built this
I am Ryan Penley. Author, podcast host, and founder of My Rock Bottom Recovery.
My story includes addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and a coma. Today it includes sobriety, family, faith, meaningful work, a published book, and conversations that help comeback stories travel farther.
What nearly buried us can become useful. Your comeback can become a life, a message, and something that keeps helping people after you leave the room.
