Surprise Fatherhood Helps B.C. Man Find the Strength to Get Sober

  • Jon Armstrong transformed his life from a homeless drug addict in Port Coquitlam to a sober employee living with his family in Abbotsford by 2025.
  • Armstrong and his partner decided to keep their unborn child and sought local help after facing addiction, homelessness, and difficulty finding support programs.
  • With the assistance of Abbotsford's Salvation Army team, including Barbara, Cindy, and Al Breitkreuz, Armstrong's wife began her recovery journey late in pregnancy and achieved sobriety before giving birth.
  • Armstrong expressed that helping just a single individual realize recovery is achievable is enough motivation for him, and he credited his son as a key inspiration behind his dedication to staying sober.
  • Now drug-free for over three years, Armstrong works at Salvation Army's Centre of Hope and uses his experience to help others facing addiction and homelessness.
