Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.)

River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm. Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

In this special episode of The Criminologist Podcast, we are honored to welcome Rick Mereness, a long-time listener of the show, and fellow Minnesotan! Rick shares his incredible story of overcoming addiction, to celebrating 35 years of sobriety. His journey is a powerful testament to the strength of resilience hope, and the human spirit.
Rick opens up about his difficult childhood, the lack of social supports that influenced his early foray into alcohol and drugs use, and the years-long addiction that followed. He candidly discusses how his third trip through drug and alcohol treatment finally led to lasting sobriety, emphasizing that recovery is often a zigzag path filled with setbacks and challenges.
We delve into the value of HOPE and the critical role of IDENTITY in driving behavior. Rick's story also beautifully illustrates the concept of generativity in desistance literature, highlighting the many ways he has given back to his community. From remaining active in Alcoholics Anonymous and helping others, to working the Veteran's Court and speaking to at-risk individuals struggling with addiction, Rick's dedication to making a positive impact is truly inspiring.
A special shout-out ti Rick's son Jason, a friend and colleague, who was instrumental in coordinating this interview. Rick's journey serves as a living, breathing example of the concepts we discuss on this podcast, and we are grateful to share his story with you.
Highlights:
- Rick Mereness shares his journey from addiction to celebrating 35 years of sobriety.
- Insights into the challenges and setbacks faced during recovery, emphasizing that it is not a linear path.
- The importance of resilience and hope in overcoming addiction.
- The role of identity in driving behavior and fostering change.
- Rick's contributions to his community, including his involvement with AA, Veteran's Court, and speaking engagements
- Acknowledgment of Rick's son Jason, for helping make this episode possible.
