Addiction grabbed hold of Richard Howell early on in life and chased after him as he moved across the Midwest.
“I left Chicago running from my addiction,” Howell said.
Ultimately, Howell landed in Duluth, where he continued to struggle. All my life, I struggled, but my struggle was not against life. It was an inner struggle, Howell said.
It was on West Fourth Street that his addiction hit its peak as Howell sold drugs to fuel his fire and ended up going to prison. But, it was just across the street that he found his redemption.
“How lucky can I be? Well, apparently extremely,” Howell said.
