In Episode 115 of Built By The Red Stick, hosts Ronnie LeDuff and Michael Oakley sit down with Tina Bass, CIT, for a powerful conversation about addiction, prison, consequences, faith, and the road to redemption. Before becoming a recovery leader, Tina experienced homelessness, addiction, incarceration, and the possibility of losing nearly everything as a habitual offender. Her life began to change when she stopped running and surrendered. In 2016, Tina co-founded Kingdom Recovery P31, a faith-based recovery program dedicated to helping people in prison and those struggling with addiction find treatment and support. She joined Second Chances Addiction Recovery Center in 2023 to pursue her dream of counseling and is currently working toward becoming a Certified Addiction Counselor. Tina understands the darkness of the streets, but she also knows what it means to run toward the light and then reach back for someone else. Her story proves that your consequences may be real, but they do not have to be the final chapter. **Real people. Real stories. Real recovery.** Watch the full episode and leave us a comment telling us what part of Tina’s story stood out to you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **MEET OUR GUEST** Tina Bass, CIT — Counselor in Training https://secondchancesrehab.com/blog/team/tina-bass-cit/ Learn more about Tina: https://tinabass.com/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GET TINA’S BOOK Tina’s book, Meet Me on the Other Side, is a raw, faith-based memoir about addiction, incarceration, consequences, making amends, and the relentless love of God.
