Congratulations to Kody for graduating the Shepherds House RISE long-term program! Kody was something of a wrestling prodigy in his youth, but anyone who has ever grappled with addiction knows that it's impossible match; Boss Universal remains forever undefeated. How do we win, then? We do what Kody has done for 365 days in a row: we surrender to the process with honesty, open-mindedness, willingness, and--especially in Kody's case--a healthy dose of radical acceptance. And now, he's finally returning home to share his newfound spiritual strength with others. Congratulations, Kody, and welcome to the brotherhood!
