Kyle Ruggeri

Kyle Ruggeri is a certified addiction recovery coach and the founder of Soberdogs Recovery, an organization dedicated to sharing accurate information about addiction and recovery. His own struggles with addiction led to a four-year incarceration, including nearly 13 months in solitary confinement. This experience became the catalyst for his recovery, which he achieved through 12-step programs, fitness, and a deep commitment to change. Since founding Soberdogs Recovery in 2017, he has shared his story at addiction recovery events and collaborated with organizations like the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office, local law enforcement, nonprofits, and rehab centers. He also educates students on overdose prevention, including the use of naloxone, a life-saving opioid reversal medication. His work has reached a global audience through social media, where he speaks at events from New York to the Cannes Lions Festival and beyond. He continues to inspire others with his message of hope, resilience, and the power of recovery.
