In the 1980s, Craig Brown, Author of Stop Hiding Start Healing, lived the high life. He worked for one of the biggest cocaine dealers on the east coast and partied with music moguls and professional athletes while self-medicating on drugs and alcohol.
Brown is now walking in his God-given purpose and has led thousands of others to freedom as a Recovery Pastor in the Washington, D.C. area. He has helped countless families find wholeness and healing for their loved ones struggling with pain and shame. Today, in the midst of an opioid epidemic, mental health crisis, and a pandemic, Brown felt the call of God to share his story and vast knowledge of recovery with as many people as possible.
Brown’s message could not be more timely. In 2019, nearly 50,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses. In 2017, 1.7 million people suffered from substance abuse disorders related to opioids. Unfortunately, drug abuse has a stigma that prevents many from getting the help they need, and family members are often at a loss with how to assist in the road to recovery. According to Brown, most seek help because of their pain, not their addiction. Brown shares life-saving counsel to Christians and communities grappling with these mental health issues.
