Host Christin Day sits down with Jaron Stanton for a real conversation about recovery, relapse, treatment, faith, therapy, and finding purpose beyond addiction.

Jaron shares openly about his experience with alcohol, early sobriety, relapse, and finally entering treatment. He also discusses the risks of “gray-area” substances such as kratom and kava, and how something that seems harmless can become part of an addictive cycle when the goal is to numb anxiety, escape emotions, or feel different.

This episode is honest, vulnerable, and hopeful. Jaron’s story is a reminder that recovery is not about being perfect. It is about being willing to ask for help, take the next right step, and build a life you do not want to escape from.

In Episode 165 of Recovery On Air, host Christin Day sits down with Jamie Humphrey for an honest, heartfelt conversation about addiction, relapse, grief, faith, recovery, and the power of being loved through the moments when you cannot yet love yourself.

Jamie shares how early experiences of feeling different, disconnected, and unworthy shaped her struggle with substance use.

In Episode 164 of Recovery On-Air, host Christin Day sits down with Juan Avalos, founder of Dads Against Bluez, for an honest conversation about addiction, incarceration, fatherhood, faith, grief, and recovery.

Juan shares the heartbreaking story behind Dads Against Bluez. He talks about growing up surrounded by addiction and instability, becoming addicted at a young age, spending years in and out of prison, and missing important years of his daughter Angelica’s life.

He also talks about the moment he had to face a reality no parent should have to face: watching his own daughter struggle with addiction, mental-health challenges, homelessness, incarceration, and the streets.

Juan shares the last time he saw Angelica alive.

After her death, Juan had a choice. He could allow grief to destroy him, or he could allow God to use his pain for something greater. Alongside his family, he chose to honor Angelica by turning his loss into purpose.

Today, Dads Against Bluez is working in Phoenix to raise awareness about fentanyl, support fathers, educate youth, mentor families, and help break generational cycles of addiction and incarceration.

At Crossroads, we know addiction and overdose are not statistics. They are someone’s child. Someone’s parent. Someone’s partner. Someone’s friend. We see this pain every day, but we also see recovery happen every day.

We have deep respect for Juan Avalos, his family, and Dads Against Bluez for choosing to serve in the trenches and on the front lines of our Phoenix community.

In Episode 163, host Christin Day sits down with Pastor Eric B. for an unfiltered conversation about addiction, incarceration, faith, homelessness, and the power of turning pain into purpose.

Originally from Las Vegas, Eric shares how substance use began early, leading to years of street life, violence, incarceration, and homelessness. While in custody, he reached a point of surrender, gave his life to Christ, and began building a different future.

Today, Eric is an outreach pastor at The River Church in Safford and a homeless outreach specialist with the Gila Valley Samaritan Home. He meets people where they are, helps connect them to showers, meals, laundry, treatment, sober living, and other resources—and reminds them that recovery is possible.

In this episode, Eric and Christin discuss forgiveness, faith, the realities of addiction, and why continued outreach matters—even when it takes years for someone to be ready.
