Robert Smiley's journey from the brink of death to becoming a beacon of hope for many is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of 'Recovery Radio', host Randall Land sits down with Smiley, the founder of the Hand Up Project, to delve into his personal battle with addiction and the transformative work he's doing now. Smiley opens up about the hurdles he faced on his road to sobriety and the crucial role community support played in his recovery.

Smiley's method focuses on isolation and accountability, fostering an environment where individuals feel supported and motivated to stay on track.
The episode is filled with success stories, showcasing how residents have managed to stay sober for years after long struggles with addiction. Smiley's philosophy isn't about dictating what people should do; it's about walking alongside them, sharing their journey, and keeping his own experiences fresh in his mind to provide genuine support. Tune in to hear how the Hand Up Project is making a real difference in the lives of those battling addiction.
