Kevin's Unexpected Path to Recovery: Overcoming Homelessness and Addiction

Despite our prodding he 'doesn't know what happened' but somehow he is a great example of what success and moving forward in recovery looks like.
Imagine seeking shelter for the winter and ending up on a life-changing journey. That's Kevin's story in this episode of Casting Light. When Kevin first arrived at Guiding Light, he wasn't looking to get sober; he just needed a roof over his head. Fast forward three years, and he's a shining example of what recovery can look like.
Hosts Dan and Debbie sit down with Kevin to talk about his incredible transformation and the systemic issues of chronic homelessness that so many face. They dive into how Kevin managed to break free from this cycle, offering hope and practical insights for anyone in a similar situation. And it's not all heavy; they also share what they'd do if they could go back to being 12 years old and even recount a surreal raccoon encounter from Daniel's past.
If you're looking for a mix of inspiration, practical advice, and a bit of humor, this episode is a must-listen. Kevin's story proves that success in recovery is possible, even when it starts with just needing a place to stay.
