The 12-bed recovery residence is one of three homes operated by An Angel’s Wing, a foundation that supports individuals with substance and alcohol use disorder. “I will celebrate one year of sobriety on Nov. 11,” Halle says. “I kind of did it all — heroin, meth and drinking — but I got sick of living like that. I took a bad situation and now use it to help other people find sobriety.” Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
