## Resource

In this episode of the Brews & Cruise Podcast, Max Ruff and Brandon Emmons join me in the Speakeasy Studio for an honest conversation about addiction, sobriety, and rebuilding life after rock bottom. Max shares his journey through addiction and what it’s taken to maintain over a decade of sobriety, while Brandon opens up about navigating recovery in his first year clean. Together, they reflect on the downward spiral that led them to rock bottom—and the turning point that changed everything. Through faith, finding God, and committing to personal growth, both men have restored their health, rebuilt their lives, and rediscovered purpose. This episode explores: Addiction and recovery Long-term sobriety vs early recovery Faith and spiritual transformation Hitting rock bottom and starting over Hope, healing, and second chances A powerful, honest conversation for anyone in recovery, supporting a loved one, or looking for inspiration to start the new year with perspective and purpose.
