Joe H. takes the mic in this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his journey from alcoholism to recovery with raw honesty and humour. Joe's story starts with his early struggles, feeling out of place even before his first drink.

Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for years, Joe's story is a testament to the strength and resilience found in the recovery community.
