In The Trenches Episode 16 focuses on the "miracles" and success stories of recovery, moving away from the "doom and gloom" of previous episodes to highlight how individuals can reclaim their lives. Cary is joined by two guests, Billy and Victor, who share their long journeys through addiction to their current states of sobriety.

Supported by Action Drug Rehab, the mission is to help individuals find rediscovered purpose and move beyond the "shadow person" of addiction. As Cary often reminds his audience, "Be the person you want your child to grow up and be".
