This episode is a powerful journey into the grip of drug addiction and the profound path to recovery. Our guest, Helen, shares her deeply personal story, offering an unvarnished look at how a slow spiral, catalysed by an injury and a desire to belong, led her from a loving, active family life to two decades of dependency, homelessness, and broken relationships.

Helen recounts her experience, from a curious 18-year-old trying drugs with new friends to facing the devastating consequences of meth and marijuana addiction. The conversation explores critical themes:

-The Unspoken Trauma: How an 18-month basketball injury created a void that led to experimentation, and how the loss of her father at 20 fueled further immersion into the drug scene.

-The Power of Denial: The mental gymnastics of maintaining a job and family contact while being deep in addiction, believing she was "top of the gutter bunch."

-The Fear of Homelessness: The terrifying, day-to-day struggle of couch-surfing and the constant anxiety of not having a safe home.

-The Breakthrough: The 8-year relapse after a failed first attempt at recovery, and the moment a friend's destruction finally gave her the clarity and resolve to accept her family's help and enter Shalom House.

-Finding Peace and Purpose: The relief of routine, the power of a praying mother, and how her recovery at Shalom House provided not just sobriety, but a restored relationship with her family and a new mission in the mentoring department.

Stepping into service at 18 takes courage, resilience, and a willingness to evolve. The skills young people gain in the Navy or defence — leadership, teamwork, discipline, and loyalty — are the same qualities every employer looks for. Yet, the challenges are real: from mental health impacts to the weight of balancing defence policy with politics.

In this conversation, we talk about what it means to serve, how young people can build consistency in a world of constant change, and why giving things a go matters more than waiting for the "perfect" path.
