Manage episode 494020676 series 3559229
Join host Tanya Gioia as she sits down with Ryan Reichert, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and author of "God Only Knows When the Devil Comes for You: Second Chance at Life." After 23 years of military service and a successful corporate career, Ryan found himself battling a 33-year drinking problem that began at age 12.
In this powerful conversation, Ryan shares his journey from living in fear and lies to finding freedom through brutal honesty. He discusses breaking generational curses, the weight of carrying family trauma, and how perfectionism nearly destroyed his life. Ryan opens up about his "Kevin McCallister moment" - when he finally stopped being afraid and started telling the truth about everything, including his struggles with adultery and addiction.
Now 19 months sober, Ryan leads a sixth-grade boys' group at his church and runs Protector Legendary Leadership Company. This episode explores themes of faith, redemption, and the power of truth-telling in recovery. A must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction, perfectionism, or breaking free from generational patterns.

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.
Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.
Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.
Blessings,
Tanya Gioia 🌸
