This Is Dedicated To You - Ep. 019

How do people find hope in the darkest times? This episode of Recovering Meth leans into that question with raw honesty and a lot of heart. Host Kendall Kee shares a deeply emotional tribute to those who have lost their lives to addiction, as well as the families left behind.

He begins with a moment of silence for “the people that will never make it into the journey of recovery,” then talks about the shocking news of a 23-year-old friend from a recovery home who died alone in a motel room. The grief is palpable, and Kendall doesn’t sugar-coat the heartbreak of “another mother that lost her son” or children growing up without their parents because of drugs and alcohol.

At the same time, the episode keeps circling back to hope. Kendall explains that Recovering Meth “started with the intention and with the sole purpose to reach that one person… that would be motivated for change.” He stresses that change is possible and that there are many resources out there for anyone willing to reach for help. There’s also a powerful story of determination: someone from Kayenta, Arizona hitchhiked hundreds of miles to reach a treatment centre in Chandler.

Kendall describes how this person wanted help immediately, showed up on their own, and was placed into care the same day. That single act of courage gives him fresh motivation to keep sharing stories, information and, most of all, hope. The tone is gentle but direct, with an occasional light touch of humour to keep things human, even while talking about death, grief and faith.

Anyone affected by addiction—personally or through someone they love—will find comfort, honesty and practical encouragement here. If you know someone who might need to hear that change is possible, whose name comes to mind right now?
