Ronnie’s story is one of the most powerful recovery journeys you will ever hear.
In this episode of Rise Above, Ronnie opens up about his unbelievable transformation — from being a professional soccer star drafted #1 in the country, battling alcohol addiction, Valium dependence, cocaine, compulsive gambling, and lying, to becoming a man with 35 years sober and 31 years free from gambling.
Ronnie shares:
How a Valium prescription at 14 years old led to 20 years of addiction
What it was like gambling while playing professional soccer
Losing everything — including trust, money, family, and self-respect
The $25,000 he stole from his own brother
The brutal reality of detox, rehab, and psych wards
How the 12 Steps, God, and service saved his life
Making amends to the man who raised his children after addiction
Building a successful business after recovery
Teaching young people how to truly work the steps
What it really takes to stay sober one day at a time
This episode is for anyone struggling with addiction, gambling, anxiety, lies, ego, shame, or relapse — and for anyone who needs proof that it’s never too late to change your life.
