Ever imagined spending nearly three decades behind bars and then turning your life around to help others? Meet Joevone Elster, whose story of transformation and service is nothing short of extraordinary.

Hosted by Kevin Phillips, this episode of 'Recovery at Archway' dives deep into Joevone's journey, from his early fascination with law to his entanglement in gang life and drug dealing, which led to his incarceration. But prison wasn’t the end for Joevone; it was the start of a profound transformation.
Joevone’s path to becoming a counselor was filled with challenges. He had to face his past head-on, make amends, and build trust with those he aimed to help. His story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the impact of second chances. Through hard work and unwavering determination, Joevone has become a role model, proving that no matter how dark our past, we have the power to shape a brighter future.
