Saint Howard's Journey: From Darkness to Light
The-step program that I'm in has given me a way of life that today I wouldn't trade it for nothing. What I've learned in sobriety and in this program, and through the steps and the old boy upstairs and people in the program, is that reality is not always fun, even sober, but I don't have to run from it anymore.
Meet Howard, affectionately known as 'Saint Howard' at Will's Place, whose story is a rollercoaster of faith, recovery, and giving back. Hailing from Ohio, Howard's path has been anything but smooth. In this episode of 'Spiritual Recovery: The Podcast', hosts Allison Hudson and Sue Turner sit down with him to uncover the trials and triumphs that have shaped his life.

Howard's reflections are a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. His tale is filled with laughter, wisdom, and an unshakeable belief in the power of recovery.
