Hard Work.
Real Healing.
Blue Collar Recovery is online addiction coaching built for shift-workers, tradesmen, labourers, and working-class men navigating addiction, stress, or trauma.
We skip the fluff and get straight to the tools, strategies, and support you actually need to move forward — in work, life, and recovery.
About the Coach.
I know what it’s like to lose yourself. I’ve been there — through blackouts, broken relationships, job losses, and the kind of trauma most guys don’t talk about.
I wasn’t blind to it. I just kept telling myself it wasn’t all bad. Until it was.
From detox to rehab to hundreds of support and therapy sessions, I did the slow work of learning how to live again. Not just to stay sober — but to actually rebuild. I learned that real change isn’t magic. It takes time, structure, and someone in your corner who won’t let you quit.
That’s why I became a recovery coach and trauma-support specialist.
With over 5 years of combined experience working in addiction, trauma recovery, and support services, I bring both personal experience and professional tools to help you build your own recovery — one that fits your life and your work.
I’m not a therapist. I’m not here to lecture you. I’m part of your care team — on your terms, when you need it most.
How I can help.
This isn’t therapy. It’s practical, personalized coaching for men who want to feel like themselves again.
We know what it’s like to keep pushing through life with a past that weighs you down. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, stress, anger, or emotional shutdown, we offer recovery coaching for men and support that meets you where you’re at — no judgment, no BS.

-
1-on-1 Online Coaching — Real conversations with someone who gets it. No fluff. No pressure. Just real tools to help you get back in control.

Ready to stop white-knuckling it alone? Let’s build recovery that actually fits your life.
Recovery Coaching.
Addiction doesn’t take days off — and neither do we.
A recovery coach is someone in your corner, when you need it most.
We meet you where you’re at — no lectures, no pressure — just straight-up support to help you build a better relationship with drugs, alcohol, and yourself.
Through honest conversations, real-world planning, and simple tools that work, coaching gives you structure and backup when white-knuckling it alone just isn’t cutting it.
