Doug's Story: From Addiction to Faith and Healing

I got my peace back, I got my joy back, I've got things that are going on in my life...I pray and I asked him to give me words to speak that will encourage, lift and help these guys.
Doug's story is a raw and honest account of battling addiction and finding a new path through faith. Starting in the 80s with alcohol, Doug's addiction escalated to drugs, leading him down a dark path that eventually landed him in prison. But it was there that he found a spark of hope in his faith in Jesus.
His journey hasn't been smooth—he's faced numerous hurdles—but he's emerged with a renewed sense of peace, joy, and a deep desire to help others on their recovery journeys. Doug now aims to pursue theological training to further his ministry work. This episode of 'A Shot of Hope' is packed with moments that will inspire and offer valuable insights into the recovery process. It's not just about Doug's struggles; it's about the triumphs and the strength found in faith and community.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Doug's story is a testament to the power of resilience and grace.
