What if you were arrested by the FBI, only to later receive a community service award from the very same organization? That’s the remarkable journey of Ed Kressy. In this episode of 'Recovery Survey', host Brett Morris chats with Ed about his incredible transformation from a life plagued by addiction and mental health struggles to one filled with purpose and service.

His journey also led him to publish a book, overcoming suicidal depression and crippling anxiety along the way. This episode is not just about the power of second chances but also the incredible impact of spiritual principles in overcoming life's toughest challenges. Ed’s story is a beacon of hope, showing that no matter how far you've fallen, there’s always a way back up. Tune in to hear Ed’s full story and get inspired to push forward in your own journey.
