Not a lot of people are going to respect your story. So if anything, just be honest and make sure your truth is your strength and not your dysfunction.
Jonathan Peltier's story is one of raw honesty and unyielding resilience. Battling opioid addiction for decades, Jonathan faced immense challenges that affected his health, family, and entire life. In this episode of 'Mino Bimaadiziwin', Jonathan opens up about his descent into addiction and his arduous journey to recovery.

Now, as a reintegration worker with the Wikwemikong Justice Program on Manitoulin Island, Jonathan dedicates his life to helping others overcome their struggles with addiction. His insights offer a poignant look at the impacts of addiction and the crucial role of community support in the path to recovery. Jonathan’s candid reflections remind us that while not everyone may respect your story, they will respect your truth.
