I see every single step I take as a gift from him, and the enemy tried to bring me down so I can get away from him.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life of chaos into one of purpose? In this gripping episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Santos shares his extraordinary story of transformation. Born in the turmoil of El Salvador's civil war, Santos' early life was marked by violence and hardship. By 19, he was entrenched in gang life and found himself behind bars, where he remained until he was 31.
His tattoos, symbols of his past, almost cost him his life on multiple occasions. But it was within the prison walls that Santos encountered a glimmer of hope—thanks to a correctional officer who introduced him to faith. This encounter sparked a profound change, setting Santos on a path to recovery and service. Today, Santos is a recovered alcoholic who dedicates his life to helping others, using his tattoo shop as a platform for community outreach.
His story is a testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative power of recovery. Through his journey, Santos highlights the importance of gratitude, the strength found in faith, and the impact of giving back. Tune in to 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' to hear Santos' powerful testimony and find inspiration in his remarkable journey from darkness to light.
