Jodie looks back at her years as a teenager in a small town where she met a friend that was a spiritual brother in Halloween. Little had she known back then, that he was something of a dark angel.

"Roadways of Recovery" is a collection of thoughts, feelings, reflections and ideas, written by David Stashko. A person in long term recovery from addiction, David has kept a long running journal of his various pathways of recovery. Here, he shares excerpts from his journals, with afterthoughts written at later dates. His hopes are to help others see just how much things can change when staying clean and sober. Sometimes we feel like things will never change. Here is some small evidence that it does. All we have to do is stay clean and do the next right thing. Miracles can happen. Be patient.
