#addiction #harmreduction #overdose Episode 100 of Pulling The Trigger: Stephen James Miller Journalist and Former Addict. Stephen Miller was born and raised in small town Newfoundland. He became hooked on opiates in his late teens - eventually becoming an IV drug user. Stephen spent a decade addicted to various prescription painkillers. Eventually the lifestyle led to several stints in prison. Stephen successfully completed the methadone program in less than two years and has been free from illicit drugs since December 21, 2017. At 31 years old he is months away from completing his journalism program. He has been a contributor to the CBC since last summer. Before joining their ranks he was featured in an in depth profile that detailed his journey to rejoin society. The piece has been nominated for a RTDNA award. He was recently published in a newly released book, About Face: Essays on Recovery, Therapies and Controversies of Addiction in Canada. He is currently converting his prison journals and life experiences into a semi-fictional novel. You can follow him on Twitter @SJ_Miller87 and Instagram at stephenmiller1987.
