How Ace & Luis Found Freedom From Addiction

with Ace & Luis Marquez

61:08

Ace is a respiratory therapist who got wrecked after treating the first community-acquired COVID-19 patient in the U.S. PTSD. Burnout. Alcohol and pain pills. Luis Marquez grew up with childhood abuse and homelessness. In 2018 Luis lost his infant son. Ace's sobriety date, July 30th, 2022, was the 100th anniversary of his grandmother's birth. Luis found healing through serving others in ways he was never served. He's got a book coming called Triumphing in Truth.

About the Podcast

Rebuilding Life After Addiction is a weekly conversation for anyone walking the long road of recovery, and for the families walking it with them.

Hosted by Justin Franich and Robert Grant, two guys with over 40 years of combined recovery between them. Justin is a former meth addict who went through Teen Challenge in 2005, spent nearly two decades in recovery ministry leadership, and now helps families navigate addiction through content, referrals, and real talk. Robert served 18 years in prison before finding freedom through faith-based recovery. Today he leads family support calls at Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge and brings a perspective that only comes from living it.

Each episode features honest conversations about faith, identity, and what it actually looks like to stay free. Not surface-level recovery talk. Not religious platitudes. Real stories from real people who've been in the pit and climbed out.

Whether you're rebuilding your own life, loving someone who is, or serving in ministry, this podcast is for you.
