On this episode of The cityCURRENT Show, Andrew Bartolotta sits down with Keith Windsor, whose journey is a powerful testament to redemption, resilience, and purpose.
After nearly 20 years of addiction, incarceration across multiple states, and repeated attempts at recovery, Keith reached a turning point that would change everything. What followed was not just sobriety—but a calling. Keith became the first certified forensic peer support specialist in the state of Mississippi, helping to shape and train peer recovery programs that now serve justice-involved individuals across Mississippi and Tennessee.
Today, Keith manages multiple outpatient clinics treating gambling addiction, works with families impacted by addiction, trains peers with lived experience, and is pursuing a Master of Social Work—all while advocating for stigma-free recovery. In this candid and deeply human conversation, Keith shares why lived experience is often the missing link in recovery, how gambling addiction hides in plain sight, and why recovery works best when people know they are not alone.
This episode is a reminder that a past does not define a person—and that sometimes, the very thing we’re ashamed of becomes our greatest asset in helping others heal.
