Awaken Your Purpose

Damien Browning: From Addiction to Purpose

Damien is a passionate advocate for recovery and transformation, dedicated to empowering individuals to rebuild their lives after addiction. Overcoming his own 19-year battle with substance use, he embarked on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and community service, turning his personal challenges into a mission to support others.

In 2013, he co-founded a nonprofit organization called “Steps to Recovery Homes”, starting with minimal resources but fueled by immense determination and hope. The organization began as a sober living house and evolved into a multifaceted recovery program offering life coaching, peer support, job development, and wellness services. His innovative approach integrates emotional intelligence, practical skills training, and community engagement to address the root causes of addiction and foster sustainable recovery.

A firm believer in the power of purpose, he emphasizes helping individuals discover their potential and reclaim their lives. Through initiatives like "Miracles Happen Resale Store", equine therapy, concerts, fundraisers and peer-driven programs, he has supported over 460 individuals on their path to long-term recovery, with many becoming active contributors to their families and communities.

He is also an advocate for collaboration among nonprofits, working to reduce the stigma of addiction and mental health challenges. His commitment to connection and healing extends to events such as recovery music festivals and community health fairs. As a father and mentor, he embodies resilience and the transformative power of service and self-belief.

Today, his work continues to inspire hope and create lasting change, proving that recovery is possible and purpose can ignite extraordinary transformation and hope.
