Chances. Choices. Changes. A peer-led recovery program

Debra King built this out of her own life.

Not as a concept, but as a Monday and a Tuesday and a Wednesday — the work of staying sober, written in her own handwriting. Read her story in her own voice.

01 A life in recovery

Debra has lived recovery from the inside out.

A facilitator with receipts. She has been where you are — not in theory, in calendar.

Debra King — Toronto, 2025

For years Debra worked frontline harm reduction, assembling and distributing Naloxone kits, on the call when calls came in.

She found her way back to a routine through her work with St. Stephen's Community House in Toronto, where she still is today — breakfast, lunch, sleep, a daytimer, a journal, a phone you answer when it rings.

She built Chances. Choices. Changes. for the people she keeps meeting along the way: adults who are sober or sincerely trying to be, who want honest conversation in a small room, finite in length, plain in language.

She facilitates every cohort herself.
