How do young adults transition from treatment to real-world sobriety? This episode of Hopestream, hosted by Brenda Zane, tackles this question with guests Alex Zemeckis and Cannon Kristofferson. As co-founders of The Grounds Recovery and Mare's House, they bring a wealth of personal experience and professional insight into the delicate process of early sobriety. The conversation is rich with anecdotes from their own journeys and offers a deep dive into the unique challenges faced by young adults in recovery today.
Alex and Cannon share their approach to building a supportive sober living environment that emphasises real-life skills. They discuss the importance of vocational programming and how even seemingly simple jobs can instil a sense of purpose and self-worth. The duo also touches on the evolving landscape of addiction, noting shifts in behaviours and societal pressures that young people face today compared to a decade ago.
The episode provides a compassionate look at the struggles families endure and the importance of community support.

With light humour and genuine empathy, they underscore the significance of resilience and self-discovery in the path to recovery.
