Stronger You Project by Justin Brien

Happy Wednesday friends! I have been migrating computers, getting a new phone set up since last week. It has really thrown me for a loop. I almost have everything back to 100% but still trying to get used to my new computer. My next guest is AWE-inspiring! He is very authentic and vulnerable talking about his battle with addiction. Please welcome Justin Brien! A little bit about Justin: My name is Justin Brien and I am a Mental Health Advocate / Inspirational Speaker and Life Coach working in Salmon Arm BC. For over half of my lifetime, I have been riddled with an endless cycle of addiction stemming from my mental health. I have battled dark nights filled with loneliness and doubt, questioning whether or not I would make it to see my son graduate, ride a bike, or even through the night. It was during this time by my own sheer mental determination and ultimately my will to live and succeed I decided to find my “why” in life. With that thought, I took my last breath in my old negative and recycled ways and looked to a new future through a better understanding of myself. With discipline and a sheer work ethic, I found it was possible to defeat my mental demons at last. Now in my new life with my son, and his mother by my side I am able to show him we are enough, each of us, and that we matter. We are not alone. There is a magic in each and every one of us and through the power of sharing my story, my experience and passing on my knowledge to others in support and understanding of what they are going through I am able to help defeat the stigma around mental health. With my life long experience dealing with these important personal issues, I aim to bring awareness to others who don’t understand and bring hope to those who desperately need it. They matter. You matter.
