John Martin and Valerie Peterson visit with Bree Montgomery sharing her Road to Redemption.

When the numbing stopped working, Bree didn’t find a clever hack—she cried out to God and watched doors open: detox, Path of Grace, a new community, and a daily rhythm that rebuilt what addiction had stolen. We visit with her through the early trauma that bred fear and isolation, the long slide from teenage escapes into a 26-year dependence on pills, and the brutal honesty of admitting she didn’t know how to be a mom. Then we trace the hard, hopeful climb that began at fifty: showing up, making amends, learning a work ethic one small choice at a time, and letting Scripture turn guilt and shame into a foundation that could hold in real life.

Bree also shares how a job at Sandestin Resort became a calling. She started as a housekeeping dispatcher who couldn’t turn on a computer, leaned on patient mentors, earned promotions, and then opened doors for Path of Grace graduates to build careers. That pipeline didn’t just change résumés; it changed futures—integrity recognized, pasts redeemed, women thriving in roles across the resort. Along the way we talk practical recovery tools: a nightly inventory, a no‑nonsense sponsor, telling the whole truth to one trusted person, and the simple force of doing the next right thing when grief and setbacks hit hard.

If you’re feeling too old, too far gone, or too ashamed to start, this conversation brings a steady message: hope is an anchor, and help is a step away. We invite you to listen with an open heart, share it with someone who needs courage today, and join us on the Road to Redemption.
