My addiction was so full...I was up above the dream and I could see what was going on and there was all these people.
Joe's story is one you won't easily forget. Growing up in Regina, SK, Joe took his first steps down a dark path at just six years old, sipping the foam off his dad's beer. Fast forward a few decades, and he found himself waking up on a slab after a near-fatal overdose. 'I did some red stuff I never saw before, one puff and I went down', Joe recalls.
But this isn't just a tale of despair—it's also one of redemption and resilience. Joe opens up about his battle with addiction, the impact it had on his life and relationships, and his journey to find a safer, healthier way to live. He shares raw moments from his past and the turning points that led him to recovery. Through his candid account, Joe hopes to break down the stigma surrounding addiction and inspire others to seek help.
His message is simple yet powerful: 'It really doesn’t cost anything to be nice to people. If I can help someone just by listening, that’s amazing to me, maybe they’ll decide to go the other way'. Tune in to hear Joe's incredible story of survival and hope on Hard Knox Talks.
