From armed robberies and drug dealing to long-term recovery and mentorship, Peter Wicket’s life is proof that transformation is possible. After years lost in addiction, jail time, and chaos, he found hope through Narcotics Anonymous and chose a different path.

Peter speaks openly about adoption, abandonment, ego, crime, relapse, and the moment surrender finally broke through. He shares how recovery isn’t just about abstinence — it’s about spiritual growth, accountability, and practicing principles in every area of life. Today, he’s a father, mentor, and leader in Saskatoon’s recovery community.

This conversation centers on recovery, awareness, and the courage to face the exact nature of our wrongs. Peter’s journey reminds us that no matter how deep addiction runs, a new way of life is possible when we stop fighting and start surrendering.

Jason Caldwell’s alcoholism didn’t begin with chaos — it began with heartbreak, loneliness, and a slow erosion of identity. After a painful breakup, alcohol became a nightly sedative, a way to avoid being awake with his thoughts.

What started as weekend drinking escalated into daytime vodka, blackouts, job loss, estrangement from family, homelessness, and waking up in hospitals with no memory of how he got there.

Cut off by his father and evicted from his home, Jason found himself drinking hand sanitizer, cycling through shelters, and facing the reality that he would not survive much longer. A chance intervention, radical honesty, and an unexpected path to healing led him to a therapeutic farm where purpose, structure, and belonging replaced isolation.

This episode explores alcoholism, homelessness, grief, recovery, and how meaning — not punishment — became the foundation of lasting sobriety.

Jason’s addiction didn’t come from chaos — it came from isolation, identity collapse, and trauma layered inside a psychologically abusive relationship. During COVID, while teaching and living alone, meth entered his life as connection and relief, then rapidly became dependency. As use escalated, Jason experienced what he describes as prolonged gang stalking, spiritual terror, and extreme paranoia — a sustained loss of safety marked by fear, intimidation, and constant hypervigilance. Trapped in trauma bonding and abuse, reality narrowed until survival meant escape. With nothing but a bag and a bus ticket, Jason fled across the country, separating from both the relationship and the drug. In the aftermath, sobriety, faith, and grounding slowly returned. This conversation explores meth addiction, narcissistic abuse, gang stalking, spiritual crisis, and what it takes to rebuild identity after psychological collapse — without sensationalism, and with honesty about the long road back to stability.
