Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Meet Riley, a former drug trafficker who lived life on the edge, dealing drugs through the Dark Web, and grappling with the paranoia that came with it. Riley's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, from being a top-tier drug dealer to experiencing rock bottom, facing near encounters with law enforcement, and battling severe psychosis. But what happens when the thrill fades and reality hits hard?
In this gripping episode of Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories, Real Talk, Riley shares his tumultuous journey through addiction, the collapse of his world, and his path to recovery.

Now working in a treatment centre, he reflects on the importance of self-worth, the power of community support, and the necessity of accepting help to rebuild his life.
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of resilience and transformation. This episode highlights the strength found in vulnerability and the power of human connection in the journey towards sobriety. What does it take to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? Tune in to find out.
