Nicole's Story

This week's guest, Nicole, stops by and shares her amazing story. Her story of addiction, self destruction, hopelessness, perseverance, self-discovery, and so much more doesn't stop in the shadows. She found herself waiting to be set free once she found her way into a life of recovery and that is what has happened. She has found the courage and freedom to become her authentic self. We are so grateful for you, Nicole. Thank you for being unapologetically you

Native Calgarian

This week my good friend, Michelle Robinson comes on to talk about the end of genocide for Palestinians - how closely related the issues across the oceans are to Black, Indigenous and People of Colour here in Canada. We talk about how law enforcement uses stacking charges to not only ensure higher rates of convictions, plea deals, but how it is also used to discredit the humans experiencing this "phenomenon". Sadly we also discussed the resurgence of violence and resistance to 2s+lgbtq rights across Turtle Island. Thank you so much Michelle, I am honoured by your friendship and your openness. Always so much love.  Find her podcast, Native Calgarian, here: https://www.nativecalgarian.com/podcast

We are incredibly grateful to kick off the Voices in Recovery Podcast, 6th season by sharing our good friend, Breaden's story. He also shared about his beautiful project; "Coming Out Boxes" for folks coming out! How helpful it would have been for myself to have the support of community immediately upon stepping across that often terrifying threshold. Thank you so much, we love you!

A New Path

This week Darcy and I sat down and discussed the past, the present, and how hopeful we are for the possible future of Freedom’s Path Recovery Society. We began in order to meet the needs of humans, who find themselves in distress from a number of human conditions and potentially have fallen through gaps in services. We as a group of humans wanting to help other humans continues to be our main focus and purpose. In order to find our center, we have made some new choices.

Chuck's Story

This week's guest, Chuck D. Stops by and shares his experience, strength and hope with us. His journey has been one of many ups and downs; from trouble in school to being sent away to boarding school. Moving from boarding school back to public school, his behaviour and using life continued to progress in a steady, downward spiral, causing many changes in locations where the results remained the same, an unmanageable life. Not only is this guy a successful actor, but he's a full blown rocker, I'll leave the rest up to him! Thank you Chuck, we appreciate you.

Lucas & North

This week's guests are Lucas, North, and in the background Ashley. They're film students from SAIT and they came on to pitch their episodic series about addiction. They're looking for support in all manner of ways and of course financial. They seem like really good humans and they have my support. Being able to talk about addiction in a true story format without that sometimes preachy feel, I found the story, "Bus Stop" honest and thoughtful from the perspective of a friend. Thank you folks, we appreciate you.
