Episode 8 - Chris Howe
from Multiple Calls Podcast Hosted by Firefighting Podcast
At 15 years of age, Chris crashed rapidly and painfully into a new reality of addiction and alcoholism. Hired into the Fire Service deep into his struggle, he lived a double life. After years of fighting to get clean and sober he found himself at the crossroads of either his fourth and final attempt at suicide, or asking for help at his lowest point. Everything from that moment on was different. He had to learn how to deal with life on life’s terms how to become a member of the Fire Family that would be instrumental on his road back. He quickly became outspoken about his darkness and recovery. Today he continues to sponsor many people in and out of the Fire Service and do work in jails and detox centres, locally and abroad. Chris recently took part in an educational video series put together by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfGR2-RjtsU and the short Documentary ‘Unmasked’ released by Instillment and Captivate Photo+Cinema, https://vimeo.com/243559744 You can follow him on Instagram @_chris_howe_ and find him on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/chris.howe.3572
