"I knew I was going to fail my second piss test too, I couldn't keep lying, I knew it was over. I went into Colleen's office and confessed."

Paul works for Northern Strands in Saskatoon, SK.

"Even though I had confessed, was still failing drug tests. I was 2 weeks into treatment before I realized I needed to take this seriously."

But then it worked.

Tune in this week and listen to Paul #takeofftheblinders around addiction at work. We'll talk about how things went wrong for him, and how his company stepped up to the plate and offered him everything he needed to return to work safe.

"I'll never forget going back, Colleen met me outside the front door. I was so scared."

She said,

"You've walked through these doors 1000 times Paul, we're really glad you're back."

For a company to step into the light and support their own like this is unprecedented. Paul's story is so powerful not only because he survived his toxic relationship with drugs, but also because he has an employer who is willing to pull up a chair and talk publicly about it.

Enough is enough.

We can't keep quiet about this anymore and I am so honored to provide a platform for Paul, and his employer Northern Strands to stand on, smash the stigma, and speak their truth.

Gettin' Louder.
