Send us Fan Mail

Longtime journalist Harry Saltzgaver shares the raw truth behind his journey from functioning alcoholism to freedom, faith, and recovery. He opens up about relapse, a life-changing DUI, and the jail-cell prayer that became a turning point after 9/11. Harry shares how God removed his compulsion to drink, why making amends and vulnerability matter, and how sobriety led to a life of service. We also discuss Christian recovery, identity beyond career, community impact, and his memoir, No Walk in the Park: Newspapers, Booze, and God.
