From Bank Robber to Recovery Advocate. Author Patrick O’Neil on Recovery from Heroin Addiction, 12 Step, and Refuge Recovery

Today my guest is a prolific Author, Teacher and Peer Recovery Counselor Patrick O’Neil. I had so much fun talking to Patrick! He is a kind and generous soul with so much wisdom to share. He clearly has done a ton of recovery work and has dedicated his life to helping others to heal. 

Patrick shares his recovery story today along with his moment of clarity, the multiple programs he participated in to get and stay sober since 2001. I just know you’re going to appreciate him as much as I do. So with that, please enjoy this episode with Patrick!
