Addict On the Run: My Cross Country Trek to A Safer Way.

Published: May 14, 2022, 7 p.m.

 "My life was a chaotic abyss, I didn't know how bad it was until I tried to quit."

Tamara ran across Canada trying to find a life without substances.
But wherever she went, there she was.

At her lowest point, she was reincarcerated, the only people who would visit was her Mom and Grandmother,

"My Grandma was getting skinnier every time I saw her. I knew I was killing her and I didn't want her to go out seeing me like that."

Tune in this week and hear Tamara #takeofftheblinders around the great escape so many try to take from addiction.

We'll talk about everything from geographical escapes, to suicide attempts, to the time in prison that saved her life.

"I'm on methadone and I still smoke weed, can I talk about that?"

Yes, Tamara, this isn't a church basement,

This is Hard Knox Talks.

Buckle up.
