Meet Alex from Austin: a guy who’s been through the wringer and found his way out with faith as his lifeline. Here’s how he took on addiction, found strength in God, and is now living a life he never thought possible.

Alex’s Journey: Raw, Real, and Inspiring  📖  

Alex’s journey started with a big shift: he gave up FM radio for Relevant Radio and cracked open the Bible: no small thing for someone new to the faith! He’s working through the Old Testament right now, taking in every word.

10 Years on Heroin

For a decade, heroin had a grip on Alex, but he's been clean for seven years now. It’s been a long road, but he’s fought for every step, reminding us how powerful the will to live can be.

Breaking Free from Porn

Even tougher for Alex was breaking his porn addiction, something that had been with him since his teenage years. It’s been 146 days of freedom for him, and he’s feeling stronger every day.

Turning Points & Wake-Up Calls

God as a Refuge: At first, Alex felt light-years away from God. But slowly, he realized his story isn’t so different from the prodigal son’s: finding his way home after years lost.

Family Support: Alex’s wife has been there every step of the way, cheering him on. Being a dad? It’s added new meaning and joy to his life.

Porn: A Warning: Alex doesn’t sugarcoat it: porn is as dangerous as any mind-altering drug. His message? It wrecks you from the inside out.

The 12-Step Path: Through Sex Addicts Anonymous, Alex found a 12-step program that helped him rebuild from the ground up. For him, it’s been a game-changer.

Reclaiming Faith 🙏

Back to His Catholic Roots: Raised Catholic, Alex drifted as a teen, but now, he’s rediscovering his faith and finding new strength in it.

Letting God Take the Wheel: One of the biggest shifts for Alex has been learning to let go and let God. It’s not easy, but he says surrendering control has brought a peace he never expected.

Relevant Radio’s Role: Through God's grace, Alex stumbled on Relevant Radio while trying to block out other noise, and he credits it as a major influence in his spiritual comeback.
