I'm Josh — a roofer in Ontario who's stayed working through addiction recovery and rebuilding life after federal time. This isn't therapy or a program. It's a way to contact someone who's actually lived through it and is still in it.
In crisis? Call 988 or your local crisis lineI reply when I can, usually within a couple of days. You can message about anything — what you're dealing with, something you read, what didn't make sense, or just needing to talk something out.
I'm a roofer working through recovery in Ontario.
Most of the year I'm on roofs. Outside of work I focus on staying structured, reading, fitness, and keeping things stable so I don't drift backward.
This isn't a brand or an expert platform. It's lived experience written down in case it's useful to someone else navigating similar systems.
Most recovery systems are structured, clinical, or disconnected from real-world work and responsibility.
This exists for people trying to stay functional inside real life while working through those systems.
