Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of despair into one of purpose and leadership? Denny Wilson's story is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance chats with Denny about his tumultuous journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope in the recovery community.

Denny is the founder of F I Community Housing, Inc., a non-profit that has helped over 20,000 individuals and families through mental health, addiction recovery, and reentry programs.

Throughout the conversation, Denny emphasizes the importance of tailoring recovery plans to fit individual needs and the transformative power of a supportive community. He also touches on harm reduction strategies, the life-saving impact of Narcan in combating the opioid crisis, and how personal connections can make a world of difference for those struggling with addiction.
