    As a man now in long term recovery, Marc Effron came up in the world with a strong work ethic and it served him well. Vice president of an insurance company at 24 years old, cocaine fueled his fire, until it didn’t. Homeless on the street at 28.

    Now with many years of sobriety under his belt he joined me on the podcast to share his valuable insights and experiences on what happened, and how he maintains the recovery he has today.

    Alberta Psychiatrist Dr. Rob Tanguay talks to me about mandated treatment, harm reduction, tent cities, and more. Must listen.

    Alberta Psychiatrist Dr. Rob Tanguay talks to me about mandated treatment, harm reduction, tent cities, and more. Must listen.

    With the concept of a "recovery oriented system of care" getting more and more traction, its seems the rift between harm reduction and abstinence based strategies is once again widening, or at least that's how the media narrative seems to be presenting itself. Dr. Rob Tanguay is at the heart of this conversation. He joined me on the podcast to share his opinions and expertise on the topic to help us gain a clearer understanding of what it is we are actually trying to achieve here in Canada for people who use drugs.

    Kimberly Flear had to walk away from the hospitality industry to stay sober. Great talk about coming out the other side.

    Kimberly Flear had to walk away from the hospitality industry to stay sober. Great talk about coming out the other side.

    Kimberly had to walk away from the hospitality industry to save her own life. She did what she had to do to find a better life including yoga, breath work, meditation, and a pile of other stuff. Today she lives in a treehouse on the cost and is living a life she didn't think possible and it all stemmed from the choice to risk it all, for recovery.

Real Recovery

This podcast speaks the real truths about addiction and recovery, and help foster the hard conversations that most people do not want to admit need to be had. Can’t say enough about it.

Great listen every time

You cannot beat this podcast for raw, real, down to earth truth from people who know and speak candidly about their experience and truth. Bravo

Chuck LaFlange ,

Different in a great way

The show is unique in that it doesn't just focus on the typical recovery story. Dan tries hard to include loved ones and professionals as well. Great show all around
