What became of Howard is he still with his girl?
I would like to know too…does anyone know?
I feel for this guy. I can relate to him in his alcoholism and depression. Hope he’s doing well.
I think this is his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/howard.halterman
That’s good to see he seems okay. Do you know his ex girlfriend’s Facebook?
Does anyone have a update on Howard! I’ve been wondering about him for years! I often wonder about his gf and if they’re in fact still together! The fb link above doesn’t work so if anyone has any new links please share! I found him to be very self aware and likable. He also seemed very depressed as well which I believed triggered his drinking. I hope he is doing well these days. Xo
they are not together and he drinks more now than ever!!!
I’m so sorry to hear this! That’s really unfortunate news. I hope that he eventually can find some sort of peace and life away from alcohol. It is so destructive.
This was another hard episode to watch as Howard and some of the things he said and did remind me of a dear friend of mine who I really worry about. I really hope he has continued to be sober, he seems like an awesome guy.
Found a fb page that appears to be Howard. Profile says single. He looks good and looks like he is still driving fast cars!
Can’t tell much from the profile but he’s still around (:
In my opinion, Howard should be on the most likable addicts list.
