My experiences of recovery, both personal and professional, convince me that the stories we tell and the experiences we share are the most powerful resouces we have.
Beacon aims to capture these stories and to share them with people in need of inspiration and guidance as they set out on their own journey. I also hope that it helps us to better understand what recovery means and challenges the stereotypes and related stigmas.
A little about me, I am a former heroin addict that, since getting clean 20+ years ago, has dedicated my life to helping others. The channel is a labour of love and relies entirely on the goodwill of others. Also, please be mindful that I'm no David Lean...just a man with a camera, a light or two and a passion for the story.
If you have a story to tell and would like to share it please contact me (UK only at this time).
If you want to support the channel and help to continue the work, please follow the 'support the channel' link. Much love and thanks.

Thanks to Nick for taking part and giving such a candid account of his journey into treatment and recovery. More videos available at www.youtube.com/@Beacon121. Much love
What an inspiration.you should be proud how far you have come.its a hard battle but it can be done.
Very inspiring mate. I know the past was never easy and growing up in Mansfield was hard but today and tomorrow will be better. You have empowered me from a distance many time. I remember years back thinking if you can do I can 👌. After all the chaos of younger life it’s sometime feels strange to realise the present is calm.
Well done mate wish I had half the drive you have proud to say I know you ,keep on keeping on
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing. These need to be on all mainstream platforms rather than the drivel we get force fed.
I agree!
Please check out the channel for more inspiring recovery stories. Please also leave a comment if you feel inspired by JJ's remarkbale story.
It happened to me in Houston, Texas, 1986. AA, I did the fourth step and that helped. I learned the distinction between psychopath and sociopath. A psychopath likes to hurt others. But I was sociopath, someone living my life and unconcerned with others. I have not drank a drop since, beer, whiskey, or wine. I feel grateful. I believe in the higher power. Good show.
Congrats from NY
Holy shit
That was fantastic ! Its so cool to hear someone start at the very bottom and climb every step and atttain the big important roles. Its essential to make a good service that the head chef knows the service user . Ive worked in mental health and homelessness and run a couple of drug groups within those frameworks but I am hopeless away from the coal face . I never had a 'career path' because I wanted to interact with the folks we were supposed to be helping. I am in total awe of your ability to move up and take on more challenges and responsibility and still be so rooted . Perhaps Ive been unlucky but whilst I never ever had a problem wirh any service user ( their behavioir was usually completely understandable given their circumstances) I often struggled to see what the hell my superiors thought they were achieving. Best of luck to you Huyesin ! I hope whatever comes next is enjoyable and bears fruit. Ps...Im off to look for the bible quote about not just giving up stealing B
Lovely man. Loved hearing your story, didn't know half of that stuff about you . Including Mick hiring you ❤ . I remember the cross and the switchblade from my childhood. I'm going to revisit it now. Thankyou for sharing your message.
The authenticity and credibility is strong 🦅. Proud to know you. But even more grateful to have you in my corner.
Absolutely incredible. The lifetimes work on yourself. It's beautiful ❤. Thankyou for sharing yourself.

Wow Carli,thank you for sharing your story and what an inspiration you are and will be to the women you work with ❤️
Absolutely phenomenal x
Thanks for sharing your story Jan. I think you come across as a really nice, honest bloke who does a lot for your family. You said "I've never done a hard days work in my life" - I disagree! i think 8 hours a day knocking on doors and starting a business sounds like incredibly hard work. I am really pleased for you that you managed to get the topside of your problem. :-) all the best to you and your family.
❤
Wow Jan, inspiring ❤
Brilliant Jan... 100% mate...
God bless you Huseyin! Really enjoyed listening to your story, thank you for all the help you've given/provided for me, just continue to be the great man you are!!
Keep being you
