J. Edwards Holt: Writing, Spirituality, and the Path to Recovery
“There's a phrase that I hear a lot in the rooms of recovery and it's: it's take what you need and leave the rest. And I think that that's such an important message for people to hear: just because this one way works for me does not mean it's going to work for you.”
Ever wondered how writing and spirituality can intersect on the road to recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Survey', bestselling author J. Edwards Holt shares his unique journey. Born in North Carolina, Holt initially pursued a degree in education but soon followed his passion for writing.
