Today, Robert Lennox is a man of prayer. Last fall, Robert lived on his own with a steady job, and though he was an alcoholic, he managed to control his drinking—most of the time.

He was constantly miserable and knew something had to change.
On the darkest night of Doug Woodard’s life, evil thoughts crept into his mind. He even contemplated suicide. He had been in and out of addiction rehab programs since the 1990s, and the perpetual cycle of sobriety to relapse left him feeling hopeless. Once again, Doug found himself homeless, living in his car, seemingly unable to control his life.
