Show Notes

Maybe you’ve relapsed after getting sober, maybe even managed to relapse more than once or maybe even 7 times. Just because your journey might include some or many bumps in the road, that doesn’t disqualify you from the life you think isn’t in the cards for you anymore. 

Ryan Silberberg, Director of Admissions at Jaywalker Lodge, had to go to inpatient treatment 7 times before he was able to truly make a change in his life. Each time Ryan was sent back to treatment, it felt more and more useless to continue trying. It wasn’t until the 7th time when he was sent to Jaywalker Lodge when he was able to find recovery exciting. His experience at Jaywalker Lodge was so impactful that he decided to come back and work there as the Director of Admissions.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Ryan joins Joanna to share his journey going from a hopeless addict to working with addicts. Ryan’s story shows that no matter how many times you fall, it’s never too late to get back up and get to the life you desire. Listen in for Ryan’s insight on the change that he’s experienced with his definition of success and how he helps families and young adults navigate the path to their own success.
