Blake joins me on this episode of Shadows to Serenity and you are in for a ride. He is steady, genuine, and deeply rooted in the recovery program that saved his own life. With many years of sobriety, Blake now works at the Salvation Army walking alongside men in recovery, helping them fight their way back from the darkness he once knew himself. He brings a presence that makes you lean in, listen closely, and reflect on your own journey. We talk about what long term recovery really looks like, how to keep faith alive when life throws curveballs, and why joy is one of the most underrated tools for healing. His story carries the depth of his needle using bottom, a reminder of just how far grace can reach. If you need both truth and laughter today, this conversation delivers.
