“If you don't understand the power in connection, the power in this conversation that you and I are having is absolutely life-changing.”
Imagine being so desperate for a fix that you’d risk everything, even your life. That's exactly what Colin faced, and in this gripping episode of 'Tactical Recovery', he opens up about his darkest moments. Hosted by Brock Bevell, this conversation is not just a recount of dangerous encounters but a raw exploration of the power addiction can hold over someone. Colin takes us to Oakland, where his need for 'black tar heroin' led him to unimaginable lengths.

Brock and Colin discuss the mental battles of recovery, the crucial role of a supportive network, and practical tools like the '5-4-3-2-1' technique to manage triggers.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a powerful mix of empathy, practical advice, and hope. Dive into Colin's story to understand the sheer insanity of addiction and the courage it takes to reclaim your life.
