    Bryan Moore: 18 Years Sober, Building Community & Facing Cancer (Audio)

    Bryan Moore, known to many as “BMO,” joins host Christin Day to talk about 18 years of continuous sobriety, building community, and facing cancer with faith and vulnerability. Recovery is about more than leaving the past behind. It’s about building a life rooted in connection, purpose, and hope—even when life brings challenges you never expected. In this episode of Recovery On Air, Bryan, co-founder of The Spot Sober Lounge in Phoenix and a longtime friend of Christin’s, shares his journey from addiction and the possibility of prison to finding recovery at the Salvation Army on August 25, 2008. He opens up about the pain beneath his anger, the importance of asking for help, and the ongoing work of emotional and spiritual growth. Bryan also discusses the community he helped build through The Spot Sober Lounge and SoberFest, creating opportunities for people to connect, celebrate recovery, and find a place where they belong. Now facing stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Bryan shares how he is navigating treatment with faith, vulnerability, and a focus on what matters most. 💬 IN BRYAN’S WORDS: “99% of the shit that we worry about does not matter. What matters is what I do today: the relationships that are important, how I treat people, and how I show people what God has done for me.” — Bryan Moore 💙 A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM CROSSROADS Bryan, we love you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate your recovery.

    A father should never have to bury his child (Audio)

    In this episode, host Christin Day sits down with Juan Avalos, founder of Dads Against Bluez, for an honest conversation about addiction, incarceration, fatherhood, faith, grief, and recovery. Juan shares the heartbreaking story behind Dads Against Bluez. He talks about growing up surrounded by addiction and instability, becoming addicted at a young age, spending years in and out of prison, and missing important years of his daughter Angelica’s life. He also talks about the moment he had to face a reality no parent should have to face: watching his own daughter struggle with addiction, mental-health challenges, homelessness, incarceration, and the streets. Juan shares the last time he saw Angelica alive. After her death, Juan had a choice. He could allow grief to destroy him, or he could allow God to use his pain for something greater. Alongside his family, he chose to honor Angelica by turning his loss into purpose. Today, Dads Against Bluez is working in Phoenix to raise awareness about fentanyl, support fathers, educate youth, mentor families, and help break generational cycles of addiction and incarceration. At Crossroads, we know addiction and overdose are not statistics. They are someone’s child. Someone’s parent. Someone’s partner. Someone’s friend. We see this pain every day, but we also see recovery happen every day. We have deep respect for Juan Avalos, his family, and Dads Against Bluez for choosing to serve in the trenches and on the front lines of our Phoenix community.
