DJ Paden: Crashing Into Sobriety | The Hopeaholics PodcastJoin The Hopeaholics Podcast for an unforgettable episode featuring DJ Paden, a former 24 Hour Fitness general manager whose life was reshaped by addiction and redemption. Growing up in Huntington Beach amidst his father's alcoholism, DJ began drinking at 12, later battling opiate addiction after a workout injury. His struggles peaked with four DUIs, culminating in a harrowing 105-mph crash in 2015 that totaled his truck and led to eight months in county jail. There, DJ began his transformation, losing 40 pounds and finding glimmers of hope. After a brief relapse, a spiritual surrender in April 2016 marked his nine-year sobriety journey. Rising from rock bottom, he rebuilt his career, advancing from a UFC Gym sales rep to regional manager, now leading the Huntington Beach location. As a men's ministry director, DJ channels his faith to guide others, despite enduring the tragic loss of his father and two brothers to addiction in 2022-2023. His raw, vulnerable story of resilience, forgiveness, and purpose shines in this emotional episode, offering a beacon of hope for those battling mental health and addiction.

Chris Eckfeldt: "GOD SUSPENDED ME"  | The Hopeaholics PodcastChris Eckfeldt's unforgettable journey through darkness to hope will grip your soul. In 2023, a catastrophic mountain biking accident in San Clemente shattered Chris's spine, robbing him of his legs and thrusting him into a world of unrelenting physical and emotional turmoil. Once an avid rider tearing down trails with the MTB Maniacs, he faced the stark reality of paralysis, his life forever altered in a single, harrowing moment. The protective “bubble” of rehab in Denver offered a temporary sanctuary, where logistics were managed and hope flickered. But returning home to the same streets and faces that once defined his vibrant life was a crushing awakening—every task, from bathroom access to car travel, became a labyrinth of adaptation. Job loss struck like a sledgehammer, stripping away his sense of purpose, while wrong medications, particularly Cymbalta, spiraled him into a vortex of anxiety and despair, fueling two suicide attempts that nearly ended his story. Yet, in the depths of that darkness, Chris found a lifeline. Through relentless self-advocacy, he secured the right medication—low-dose Wellbutrin—restoring clarity and stability. Bolstered by his wife Domini's unwavering support, who stood firm through fear and heartache, and a renewed faith that saw divine purpose in his survival, Chris began to rebuild. He discovered that his pain could light the way for others, not through grand gestures but through the raw, honest sharing of his journey.#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

In this episode, we are honored to have Dr. Richard Morgan as our guest, who shares his powerful journey through addiction and recovery.

This eventually leads to his arrest by federal agents on May 15, 2007, for conspiracy to distribute OxyContin—ten years after he first takes a pill. Despite coming from a respected background as a physician, he faces the same addiction challenges as others, noting that "addiction doesn't know any boundaries." He shares his experiences in rehab and his ongoing efforts to recover by educating future doctors about the power and responsibility they hold in prescribing medications. Dr. Morgan emphasizes the importance of seeking help, recalling how his addiction affects his life, including losing his family and job. By sharing his story with students, he aims to raise awareness about addiction and promote compassion for those affected. #TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

About a dozen years ago, Wasco County Sheriff Lane Magill became aware of a growing need for treatment services for residents experiencing mental health crises in his county. Faced with a lack of residential care services in the region, he struggled to find help for people experiencing homelessness or veterans who suffered from PTSD. The surge of fentanyl-related overdoses in the county since 2021 also highlighted the link between behavioral health and substance use disorders, and the lack of local treatment options.But that may now soon change. As first reported in the Columbia Gorge News, Magill expects to break ground this year on a new residential treatment facility in The Dalles. It would offer 16 beds to treat residents in Hood River, Wasco and Sherman Counties for substance use disorders, along with a walk-in center for people in mental health crisis. Sheriff Magill joins us to talk about the status of the $50 million project, and the regulatory roadblocks it faces.
