Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

Julian H found his "solution" in sex and porn as a youth. Living in years of shame and secrets, he kept his life as a double life - portraying himself as a good man around others, but living in fear and darkness alone. In September of 2019, his way of secret living was abolished when he was introduced to the 12 Steps by his loving Higher Power. Now, his life is forever changed as he has found a Real Solution and is committed to share this new way of life with others.  He speaks to us today on the phrase from the Big Book, "We Let God Discipline Us".Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

Just Joe was born into pain he didn't choose—abused as a child, shaped in silence, and twisted by what passed for love. In time, he became a mirror of the very harm he had endured, caught in a cycle of fantasy, compulsion, and deep confusion. Four marriages fell apart under the weight of secrets. Joe served nine months behind bars, spent three days locked in a psych ward, survived five years on felony probation, and wandered homeless in the deserts of California—his own self-made leper colony. For twenty years Joe sat in AA meetings, sober but spiritually bankrupt, never daring to touch the rot in his soul. It wasn't until he entered intense therapy that the truth emerged: he was emotionally stunted, mentally unwell, and spiritually starving. Joe had no program, just pride and pain. When he finally hit his bottom and failed at ending his life, he cursed God.  And in that broken moment, grace didn't come like light—it came like a whisper: Help someone. Joe remembered what AA had always said. But who would want help from a man like him? A felon? A sex offender? Still, he searched—and found SA. And in that fellowship of the condemned, Joe found communion. He no longer wanted out. He wanted in. Back in the places he once dreaded, back with the men everyone else forgot.Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

Text and Be HeardRecovery from addiction takes many forms, but as our guest John G explains after 30 years without placing a bet, the journey follows distinct layers. First comes arresting the illness through changing daily behaviors and becoming accountable. The deeper work involves addressing character defects that drain serenity, making amends to those harmed, and developing a spiritual connection that sustains long-term recovery.The digital age has dramatically transformed gambling addiction. What once required visiting a casino or calling a bookie now happens silently through smartphone screens, creating a new breed of gambler who's more isolated and depressed. College campuses have become ground zero for sports betting companies targeting young males through aggressive advertising and peer pressure. As John points out, "It's toxic, but it's intoxicating," especially for young people who haven't yet learned the value of earning and saving money.Perhaps most alarming is the industry's promotion of live betting, which accelerates addiction by encouraging continuous play and chasing losses. This practice compresses what once took decades of addiction development into just a few years. The parallels to Big Tobacco are unmistakable—from targeting youth to denying harmful effects while hiding behind hollow "responsible gambling" messages. As John wisely observes, "Everyone thinks coming in that it's a gambling problem. They realize after a while it's a living problem."
