Norman Mentall's story of addiction started long before he took his first drink in grade school. By the age of 18 he was addicted to cocaine, and didn't stop there.

His is a story littered with trauma, pain, periods of sobriety, and the deep darkness of relapse that led to a fractured family and a broken man with a shattered spirit.

But after several undeniable instances of divine intervention and sobering revelations, Norm embarked on a journey of healing, growing, and ultimately GLOWING through recovery, and the restoration of some of the most broken areas of his life.
