The Opposite of Addiction isn't Sobriety, It's Community.

Forest Fires, Addiction, Recovery and Redemption is a podcast where we force the monster of addiction out of the shadows of shame and into the light of hope. I am John Clark, a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, Recovery Coach and grateful member of the recovery community.

We will also discuss actionable steps that anyone effected by the disease of addiction can take to keep this disease at bay. This podcast isn’t just for those that identify as addicts or alcoholics, but for families, friends and anyone curious to learn more about the journey of recovery. The topics that we discuss are designed to motivate, support and inform. My goal is, and always will be, to empower and support your personal recovery journey through positive motivation, accurate information and practical suggestions, based upon my own lived experiences. So, whether you are driving to work, taking a break or just need an uplifting message, join me On Forest Fires, Addiction Recovery and Redemption as we break the shackles of addiction, explore the freedom of recovery and experience the power of redemption.
