Amazing Grace In The Darkest Hour Part 2 With Sheldon Jernigan

This one’s close to my heart. In part two of my conversation with my son, Sheldon, we talk about what recovery really looks like, the hard days, the small victories, and the faith that keeps us both going. We open Hugh’s Big Book, the one my late husband studied every morning, and reflect on what it means to live one day at a time with God at the center.Sheldon shares his journey from relapse to renewal, the dangers of gas-station drugs, and how gratitude and grace pulled him through when nothing else worked. We talk about surrender, service, and how miracles still happen even in the mess.
