Guiding Light: Woody's Journey from Recovery to Mentorship

I often will tell people: a sponsor is no better than what you are and you're no better than what he is. You're really two people that are talking together and trying to get healthier together- brothers with a shared experience.
What happens when someone who has battled addiction becomes a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of Casting Light, Woody, a dedicated mentor at Guiding Light, opens up about his own path to sobriety and how he now helps others navigate their recovery journeys. With years of experience under his belt, Woody shares heartfelt stories of the men he's mentored and the profound impact that faith and support have on their lives.
This episode dives deep into the mentor-mentee relationship, highlighting the crucial role it plays in the recovery process. Woody’s compassion and dedication shine through as he recounts the challenges and triumphs faced by those in the program. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the human spirit's resilience, Woody’s story offers inspiration and hope. Tune in to understand how mentorship can transform lives and why support is key to overcoming addiction.
