Addiction Recovery

Couple’s YouTube channel helps addicts with recovery

WATCH – IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE –

June 28, 2021 – Olivia Bender and Scott Sample chose recovery years ago. Now, they’re helping others choose it, too.

“We’re doing our part to bring it to our community that there is another way of life and it’s fun,” said Bender.

It is making a difference for the hundreds of people who interact with their videos every day.

“That is a blessing. It really is life-changing. We wake up with a purpose every day. It’s saving lives, it’s saving children, it’s saving parents,” said Bender. The two post videos weekly, including a men’s and women’s podcast and different recovery topics.

“Today’s topic is bipolar and addiction.”

And they give a platform for others to share their recovery journey.

It wasn’t an easy road getting here. For Scott, it was a heroin addiction and drug court. For Olivia, it was an arrest on drug charges.
