Sundance Robson: Rising Above Intergenerational Trauma and Addiction

I was trying to escape horrors I faced as an intergenerational residential school survivor with drugs and alcohol. It didn’t work.
What if the very thing you used to escape your past no longer worked? Sundance Robson knows this feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.', Sundance opens up about his harrowing journey through intergenerational trauma and addiction. As a residential school survivor, he faced unimaginable horrors that led him to drugs and alcohol at a young age.
By 11, he was already drinking, and by 19, he lost his father to a heroin overdose. His life seemed like an endless cycle of running from pain. But one day, after doing his last line of drugs, he found himself questioning everything. The substances that once numbed his pain were no longer effective, and he had nowhere left to run.
This moment of clarity led him to seek treatment, where he discovered a higher purpose through service and a belief in a higher power. Sundance's story is a testament to the transformative power of understanding and self-embodiment. He shares how he turned his life around, finding light in the darkest of places. The episode covers critical topics such as intergenerational trauma, mental health, recovery, and the importance of community support.
Sundance's journey is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding meaning and purpose in life despite the odds. His story will resonate with anyone who has faced similar struggles or is looking for inspiration on their path to recovery.
