🌟 ONE80 Graduate Spotlight: Herbie Ward 🌟
At One80, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing our graduates continue to grow, serve others, and thrive in recovery. Today, we are honored to spotlight Herbie Ward and celebrate the incredible life God has built through his faith and commitment to recovery.
Herbie's clean date is June 8, 2022, and he is approaching an amazing milestone of 4 years sober!
Herbie shares, "First and foremost, I have to give God all the credit because without Him in my life none of this would be possible."
Since graduating from One80, Herbie has built a successful career at Summers-Taylor, Inc and continues to apply the life skills, structure, and principles he learned during his time in the program. He credits both One80 and Recovery Resource for helping shape him into the man he is today.
But Herbie didn't stop at recovery—he chose to give back.
Today, he works a 12-step program daily, sponsors other men, visits treatment centers throughout the Tri-Cities through H&I service work, and shares his experience, strength, and hope with those still struggling. Recently, he helped open an Oxford House in Bristol, serves on the board as Treasurer of Chapter 16, and is the President of Eloise House.
Herbie is living proof that recovery is possible when faith, willingness, and hard work come together. His story reminds us that recovery isn't just about staying sober—it's about becoming the person God created you to be and helping others do the same.
Herbie, we are incredibly proud of you. Thank you for being a shining example of what God can do through a surrendered life. Your impact is reaching far beyond yourself and touching countless others in our community.
Help us congratulate Herbie on nearly 4 years of sobriety and his continued dedication to serving others!
