"I was on the streets of Detroit using Fentanyl, Crack, and Meth. It was the darkest and most horrific 3 years of my life."

Cara started using at 13, she quickly spiraled out of control but managed to pull it together at 19 to be a mother and become a Registered Nurse.

"I was a good mom, had a good home, all the amazing things that come with sobriety."

Then she had hip surgery....

"I relapsed on my pain meds."

Join us live this week and listen to Cara #takeofftheblinders around the realities of street life, and how easily unchecked mental health challenges can land you there.

We'll talk about what she was like, what happened, and what she found out there that led her to the productive and meaningful life she has today.

"I never forget the nightmare I lived 2 years ago, I have way too much to live for today. I have 2 little girls that need their mom around, ya know?"

We do. We are honored to have Cara join us as we light a candle for the lost, and walk into the darkness this week right here,

On Hard Knox Talks.

Buckle up!

If you ask Chelsey, her first love wasn't a person: it was fentanyl.
"I was a young girl without a father figure, I didn't know what to do to get that connection and fill that void"
After years of living the life, and getting dragged into a situation that she wasn't a part of, she came to the realization that,
"My worldview was completely distorted, it wasn't real. I did things for everyone else but not for me."
and at some point,
"my will to live became stronger than my want to struggle. If I can do all that shit to be a gang member, I can apply that hustle to something legal & something of value."
Join us this week and listen to Chelsey's incredible story of going from the street to being a social work student in Saskatoon, SK this week, on Phoenix Fire.

"I heckled a guest speaker at a conference, but was still baffled when people suggested I had a problem."

Jamie grew up in an alcoholic home, and he carried that into his career in corporate communications.

Lucky for him he had an employer who was supportive when it came time to get some help.

"What really changed the game for me is when I was told that I was not a bad person who needs to get good I was a sick person that needs to get well, and that really landed with me."

Tune in this week and listen to Jamie #takeofftheblinders about alcoholism on the top floor. We'll talk about what he was like, what happened, and how he found his way to his latest project, bringing a 40-bed treatment center to Saskatoon, SK called "The Recovery Hub."

"abstinence-based strategies work in a perfect world, but our world isn't perfect and we need to start thinking differently."

We couldn't agree more.

You won't want to miss this one friends as we fall from the cooperate ladder, only to climb higher than ever this week right here, on Hard Knox Talks.

Buckle up!

Darren was already struggling with substances when he tragically lost his brother to drug poisoning.

That sent him into the abyss.

“My plan B if I ever got into serious legal trouble was to just kill myself. I didn’t care.”

And despite the dangerous lifestyle and suicide attempts, Darren found his way into a church basement.

“I walked into a meeting, took a white chip. I started crying and said I just wanted to feel happy.”

Tune in this week and listen to Darren #takeofftheblinders around the realities of addiction in the family unit.

We'll talk about what he was like, what happened, and what drove him to accept reality and work within it to find a safer way to live.

“When you get into recovery you are getting rid of a piece of you, that void needs to be filled and I’ve filled it with service to my community.”

We are honored to have Darren share his story with us and learn about what he's doing to give back with his organization 12-Step Road this week right here,

on Hard Knox Talks.

Buckle up!

Dr. Barbara Fornssler has had her own experience with substances.

And that lived experience gave her eyes to see the social injustices taking place in this province, and across Canada towards people who use drugs.

So Barb went to work tirelessly and earned a Ph.D. in Public Health.

"We're going to talk about activism and policy, protest and direct action, social movements, and community.

But most importantly, we're going to talk about social change,

and not asking nicely."

In many circles, this woman is referred to as Dr. Fornssler with high regard.

But on the screens of Hard Knox Talks,

We call her Tank Girl

And you'll see why, this week right here, on Phoenix Fire.

Let's gooooo!

This event is Fiercely supported by P5 Project YXE.
