📄 Podcast Episode Description:

In this powerful episode of Still Breathing: The Fight Against Addiction, we dive deep into the raw reality of recovery — the triggers, the temptation, and the emotional weight of trying to stay clean in a world that keeps testing you.

Whether you're early in your recovery or years in, this is the episode that reminds you:
An urge isn't a relapse. A trigger isn't weakness. And you're not alone.

🎙️ I share personal moments when the past tried to pull me back, and how I found the strength to push forward — not because I’m perfect, but because I’m still breathing.

“Path to Healing” is a raw and deeply human journey through the shadows of addiction and into the light of recovery. More than just a story of struggle, it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the quiet strength it takes to keep going, even when everything seems lost.

Set against the backdrop of a community forever changed by the opioid crisis, this piece follows individuals who have walked through the fire—those who hit rock bottom and chose to rise. Through personal stories, expert insights, and real-world recovery programs, “Path to Healing” sheds light on what it really means to fight addiction—not just to survive it, but to grow from it.

Whether you’re in recovery, love someone who is, or simply want to understand the reality behind the headlines, this story is a reminder that healing is not a straight line. It’s messy, painful, hopeful—and always possible.

Episode Blessing 🙏🏽 | A Moment of Gratitude
Today, I’m walking with a lighter heart and a soul full of gratitude.

An anonymous donor did something that may seem small to some—but to me, it was everything. They covered the full expenses for this week’s production of Still Breathing: The Fight Against Addiction.

This podcast isn’t just a show. It’s a mission. It’s hope in audio form. And because of their quiet generosity, I can keep doing the work that helps others find their next breath, their next step, their comeback.

To the angel behind this gift: You didn’t just support me—you uplifted every person who listens to these stories of survival. May God bless you and your family beyond measure.

To everyone reading this: Never stop believing in good people and small miracles. They are real. And today—I’m living proof.

🎙️ Still Breathing: The Fight Against Addiction continues… because someone cared. 💙

Beneath the Ashes is a raw, unfiltered journey through the darkest corners of mental illness and addiction—and the painful, defiant climb back to life.

This isn’t a tale of tidy recovery or sanitized struggle. It’s a memoir that looks rock bottom in the eye and refuses to flinch. Through brutal honesty and unforgettable storytelling, this book dives into the reality of addiction, the prison of mental illness, the loneliness of homelessness, and the silent scream of suicidal thoughts.

But this is also a book about survival.

Each chapter is a step toward healing, a reminder that no matter how broken you feel, your story isn’t over. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt hopeless, abandoned, or too far gone to be saved. It’s for the fighters, the fallen, and those still standing in the ashes.

If you're still breathing, there's still time to fight.

Episode 3: “Addiction Isn’t Who I Am”

In this powerful video episode, we break down the false identity that addiction tries to stamp on your soul. Society may have labeled us as addicts, losers, or broken — but we know better. Addiction is something we went through — not who we are.

This 4-minute spoken-word visual piece walks through the emotional highs and lows of recovery, the daily fight to reclaim self-worth, and the inner strength it takes to keep standing after every fall. With raw narration and vivid visuals, this episode is a reminder that you are not your past, your pain, or your addiction.

You are still breathing.
You are still here.
And your story is just getting started.

🎙️ Episode 2: “The Lies Addiction Told Me”

Addiction is more than a physical battle — it's a mental war built on lies. In this powerful episode of Still Breathing: The Fight Against Addiction, we expose the most common lies addiction tells us: “You’re in control,” “You’ll never change,” “Nobody cares,” and more.

Host Daniel Colon shares personal experiences and raw truths about how these lies kept him trapped — and how replacing them with honesty, hope, and community made recovery possible. If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or like you’ll never be enough, this episode will speak directly to your soul.
