Why this works:
Recovery Coach | Neuroscience Background | 26+ Years Lived Experience
Everything I do is rooted in trauma-informed care, lived experience, and the science of how the brain heals.
Hi, I’m Aaron Gleadow, and I spent over 25 years caught in my own battle with addiction before choosing recovery for real. I know what it’s like to want change but feel stuck, exhausted, or ashamed of how things have been.
My coaching blends what I’ve lived with what I’ve studied. Addiction and recovery. Identity and behavior change. Trauma and emotional healing. And how the brain rebuilds itself through safety, repetition, and connection.
I’ve worked in neurodiagnostics at one of Canada’s top hospitals, helped shape national mental health policy, and supported hundreds of people through deeply personal recovery journeys using tools that make sense to the nervous system and how it actually heals.
This isn’t therapy. It’s not rehab. And it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all system.
It’s a real conversation built around what’s going on inside you and where you are ready to go next.
What happens in the session:
We’ll meet for 30 minutes on Zoom.
I’ll ask the right questions, listen closely, and help you get clear on what’s actually going on beneath the surface.Then, together, we’ll map out a real next step.
Not a one-size-fits-all solution. A plan that meets you exactly where you are.No pressure. No pitch.
Just space to tell the truth, feel heard, and begin moving forward with support that finally makes sense.
This is your space. Safe. Private. Focused on you.
Why Clients Choose This Over Other Options:
✅ Easier to start than formal treatment
No paperwork, no long waitlists, no rigid structure. Just one private call to finally talk about what’s really going on.
✅ Fully private — no records, no diagnosis
This is 100% off the record. No labels. No reporting. Just a confidential space built around trust, not systems.
✅ Fits your schedule and emotional pace
No pressure to commit to a full program. You set the tone, and we meet you exactly where you are.
When I realized that I had to seek external help to tackle my addiction, it was difficult to find the right fit for me. While my wife knew I was struggling with alcohol abuse, the rest of my environment—especially my employees, clients, and business partners—didn't. Since alcoholism is still stigmatized, I couldn’t afford to come out, as it could have easily ruined my reputation and my family’s livelihood.
I carefully browsed the web and social media channels, looking for the right fit to approach my problem. That’s when I first came across Aaron Gleadow, also known as Detox Junkie. His story, professional background, and unprejudiced approach impressed me right away. Although it took me another four weeks before I reached out to Aaron personally, his social media presence helped me gain a better grip on my problem and start believing that I could overcome my addiction, just as Aaron did so bravely.
For me, as a business executive, discretion, privacy, and trust were of utmost importance. During our first introductory session, Aaron immediately put me at ease, assuring me that he would handle my case with the utmost discretion. He was eager to help and support me, even accepting that I used an alias at first.
Now, six months later, Aaron knows almost everything about me, including my real name, my business affairs, and my family. He was the reason I was able to get my addiction under control, and we became friends throughout my transformation journey. Thanks to Aaron and his deep understanding of the roots of addiction, I was able to uncover the deeply hidden causes of my alcohol abuse, which was a symptom of a severe inner conflict.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that, with Aaron's help, I gained the life I always wanted to live—sober, self-aware, and happy. I am a better father, husband, businessman, and entrepreneur than I ever was before. Aaron helped me do the work necessary to achieve this, and I am beyond grateful.
I can highly recommend working with Aaron, especially for successful career individuals who cannot afford public attention regarding their addiction. Aaron handled everything discreetly from day one. He is a true professional, and I’m proud to call him my friend.
