04 Sep 2025

Description

28 Years of Addiction to Thousands of Smiles & Transformed Lives | Justin Lowry’s StoryJustin Lowry had it all—an expanding roofing company he built from the back of his truck, prestigious roles in the dental industry, and the appearance of success. But behind the accolades was a hidden 28-year battle with addiction that began when he was just 10 years old.On July 16, 2021, everything came crashing down. After his arrest, Justin lost his home, his family, and nearly his life. In his darkest moment, he contemplated suicide, convinced the world would be better without him. But a judge’s recommendation to try Alcoholics Anonymous became a lifeline. Through attending multiple meetings daily, Justin not only found sobriety—he found a new purpose in service to others.During recovery, he noticed a pattern: many people covered their mouths when they smiled, ashamed of the damage addiction had left behind. That observation sparked Smiles for Recovery, a groundbreaking nonprofit that provides free dental implant services to people in recovery while simultaneously training dentists in implant placement. The model is sustainable, scalable, and life-changing: dentists receive training they would normally pay tens of thousands for, patients receive transformational care at no cost, and entire families rediscover hope.The results are staggering: ✨ In one day, 20 full-arch procedures worth $1.5 million were completed. ✨ Over 3,400 patients across Tennessee and Kentucky have been served. ✨ Entire communities are being uplifted through restored confidence, dignity, and purpose.Justin’s journey proves that pain can be turned into purpose. Smiles for Recovery is not just about fixing teeth—it’s about transforming lives.💡 As Justin says, “When somebody is going through the ugliness of addiction, others around them are being pulled down. When they’re in recovery, it lifts everyone around them.”👉 Listen now to hear Justin’s remarkable transformation—and discover how your greatest struggle might become your most powerful gift.Contact Justin / Smiles for Recovery🌐 https://www.smilesforrecovery.org/📘 https://www.facebook.com/justinklow13📱 https://www.instagram.com/therealjustinlowry🌐 https://www.smilesforrecovery.org/📲 Follow & Subscribe to the Charge Forward Podcast:🌴 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/chargeforwardpodcast🎙️ Podcast Page: https://chargeforwardsolutions.com/podcast📘 Facebook: facebook.com/chargeforwardpodcast📱 TikTok: tiktok.com/@chargeforwardpodcast🐦 X: x.com/ChargeForwardX📱 Instagram: instagram.com/chargeforwardpodcast🎥 YouTube: Charge Forward Podcast Channel💡 New episodes drop every Thursday!📣 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:💳 Charge Forward Solutions – Merchant Services📈 Sense Development – Executive & Data Services📈 Sense-Leads – Wholesale Lead Services🎥 HitLab Studios – Podcast Production🌟 Rosemary Salazar – Virtual Assistant Services
