Though plagued early on by shame, spiritual disconnect, and a relentless internal void, Howard found fleeting relief through alcohol—what he later recognized as a counterfeit spiritual experience. His life spiraled through deception, professional fallout, and emotional devastation until desperation led him to Alcoholics Anonymous. With sharp wit, humility, and gratitude, Howard recounts how surrendering to the program and taking action—especially returning stolen equipment—lifted an invisible burden he didn’t even know he carried. His story highlights how even the most broken pasts can become a foundation for spiritual rebirth, truth-telling, and peace, emphasizing the enduring importance of service, accountability, and connection in living a meaningful, sober life.
