From what I understand, he's been clean for two years and already had a career in radio.
But after a nasty divorce and drugs and alcohol addiction, he naturally lost his job. Likely couldn't find a new one since he can't pass drug tests which almost everyone does now, and eventually the money ran out and he was on the streets going to food shelters and getting whatever money he could on the street for booz/cigs/drugs.
He says he became very religious and got clean at the same time around two years ago, so I'm guessing he probably did check himself into (or was forced by court order) AA which is faith based get-clean program.
Its a nice story for people who have messed up that there is always still time to fix it (this guy is over fifty IIRC), and it was touching that he got to show his mom he's back on track before she passes.
Actually, back on track is an understatement. He landed not only a job, but a free house, and reportedly from all his TV appearances was given a TON of money.
