Redeemed, Not Defined by my Past— Breaking Every Chain (Ep. 183)
What happens when childhood survival turns into adult addiction-and God steps in with redemption?
In this episode of Genuine Life Recovery, Russell Ramos shares his powerful story of growing up in instability, carrying unhealed wounds into adulthood, and eventually finding freedom through recovery, surrender, and faith. Raised in an environment shaped by fear, confusion, and emotional chaos, Russell learned early how to survive—but those same coping skills later led him into addiction and broken identity.
Through the recovery process and a life-changing encounter with God, Russell began to experience healing that went deeper than sobriety. In this conversation, he opens up about trauma, addiction, shame, grace, and what it truly means to break free from the chains of the past. His story is honest, hopeful, and deeply encouraging for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure if real change is possible.
This episode is for those navigating addiction recovery, healing from childhood wounds, or seeking spiritual freedom. Russell’s journey is a reminder that your past does not define you, healing is possible, and redemption is real.
You are not too broken. You are not alone. Freedom is available.
