Indigenous-led recovery organization
Supporting Nations, governments, organizations & families across the recovery continuum

09/30/2026

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Today, BILLWARDLIFE honours the children who never came home from residential schools, the Survivors who did, and the families and communities who continue to carry their stories, strength and healing forward.

Our work as an Indigenous-led recovery organization directly intersects with the issues identified in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action:

- Call to Action 19 calls for action to close gaps in Indigenous health outcomes, specifically identifying mental health, addictions and access to appropriate health services.
- Call to Action 55(iv) calls for progress on those health gaps to be measured and reported.

Through recovery support, outreach, Wholistic Full-Scope Case Management, treatment navigation, aftercare, family support, cultural connection and ongoing service reporting, BILLWARDLIFE works alongside relatives, families, Nations, governments and organizations to help close the spaces where people can lose connection to recovery and support.

We believe reconciliation is also found in the everyday work: in relationships, in showing up, in walking beside our relatives, and in helping people find their path forward in a sacred way.

Today we remember. Every day, we continue the work.

Every Child Matters 🧡

This is BILLWARDLIFE

What began with one person wanting to help people has grown into an Indigenous-led recovery organization built around one simple mission: help as many of Creator’s kids as possible.

Today, our team works alongside relatives, families, Nations, governments and organizations through recovery support, mentorship, program development, cultural workshops and Wholistic Full-Scope Case Management, helping fill gaps where people can too easily lose connection.

We meet people where they are at, but we do not leave them there.

Reach out. Let’s walk forward together.

One person. One family. One community at a time.

🪶 BILLWARDLIFE-CAST | The Pain of Growth

🚨 Episode 208 is live!

Bill is back with another episode of the BILLWARDLIFE-CAST.

In this episode, Bill reflects on how personal growth can change not only the way we respond to others, but the relationships closest to us.

He reflects on the impact his own transformation had on his family and realizing that the most powerful thing he could do was stop talking about change and start demonstrating it.

“The pain of growth is where you’re going to build character. That’s where you’re going to build your strength. That’s where you’re going to build your relationship with the Creator. That’s where you’re going to build your relationship with yourself.”

Enjoy this honest conversation about family, forgiveness, personal responsibility, leading by example, and learning to choose the kind of pain that helps us grow.

🪶 BILLWARDLIFE was honored to be at Siksika Nation yesterday for the opening of the new recovery treatment center.

A huge congratulations to Siksika Nation Tribal Administration and Siksika Iitaisokinaapyoyis Recovery Community on this important step forward for the Nation, for families, and for everyone walking a path of recovery and healing.

Building spaces where people can reconnect with recovery, culture, community, and themselves matters.

This is all so much more than simply stopping the drug or the drink. It’s about rebuilding lives. Reconnecting families. Restoring hope. And creating systems that walk beside and support people through the entire journey.

It was also great connecting with Alberta Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Rick Wilson Rick Wilson and R-Jay R-Jay Melnichuk and the rest of their team and having some good conversations about the work happening across Alberta.

There is a lot of work ahead, and BILLWARDLIFE is grateful to be part of these conversations and continue building relationships with Nations, communities, government, and people who believe recovery is possible.

One person. One family. One community at a time.

Congratulations again to Siksika Nation 🙏🏽

🪶 BILLWARDLIFE-CAST | Intuition and Service

🚨 Episode 207 is live!

Bill is back with another episode of the BILLWARDLIFE-CAST.

In this episode, Bill reflects on what growth really looks like, not perfection or dramatic change overnight, but moving forward “millimeter by millimeter” through setbacks, humility, honesty, and vulnerability.

Bill shares how being of service has often brought support back into his own life, from people helping him move and build his platforms, to offering financial support when he needed it most. He reflects on reciprocity, learning how to both give and receive, and how his understanding of that balance has evolved through ceremony and the teachings of others.

He also talks about reconnecting with his Indigenous identity later in life, learning Blackfoot, valuing Cree teachings, and developing a stronger sense of intuition through sponsors, Elders, ceremony, and years spent helping others.

Bill reflects on a period when he was broke but still felt strongly that he needed to prioritize a Big Book study, choosing to trust his intuition even when “common sense” seemed to say otherwise. He also shares a rare dream that gave him a clear sense of purpose: to help articulate spiritual sickness, raise consciousness for Indigenous people, and bring that message to a wider audience.

That sense of direction continues to shape Bill’s work today as he reflects on the idea that “the thing is never the thing,” the importance of doing what is difficult, staying honest with himself, and remaining aligned with service as he prepares to enter ceremony.

Enjoy this honest conversation about intuition, service, Indigenous identity, spiritual growth, and learning to trust the direction that comes when we’re willing to listen.

🪶 BILLWARDLIFE-CAST | Service and Honesty

🚨 Episode 206 is live!

Bill is back with another episode of the BILLWARDLIFE-CAST.

In this episode, Bill reflects on what it means to live with humility, honesty, and a commitment to being of service, even when the path forward isn’t always clear.

Bill shares how his mentor Jay encouraged him to step into the role of a “message carrier” for Indigenous communities, forcing him to reconsider his own ideas around humility, self-promotion, and the fear of being judged within 12-step culture.

He also talks about a painful lesson in dishonesty after lying to his daughters in order to see a girlfriend, and how that experience strengthened his commitment to rigorous honesty in his recovery and relationships.

Bill reflects on choosing work based on where he could be of maximum service, from travelling to First Nations communities across Canada, to taking a higher-paying director position that ultimately left him feeling unfulfilled, and eventually asking Creator for direction about what he was supposed to do next.

That direction led him back to helping people struggling with addiction, building BILLWARDLIFE, reaching out to Chiefs and Health Directors across the country, navigating financial hardship, and learning the importance of both giving support and allowing others to support him in return.

Enjoy this honest conversation about service, humility, recovery, and learning to trust the direction life puts in front of us.

🪶 BILLWARDLIFE-CAST | From Coal to Calling

🚨 Episode 205 is live!

Bill is back with another episode of the BILLWARDLIFE-CAST.

In this episode, Bill shares how some of the most painful “mistakes” of his life eventually became lessons that shaped his recovery, healing, and purpose.

Bill talks about quitting drinking at 22 after a desperate prayer, then building a business. But beneath the outward success, untreated anger, intimidation, workaholism, and chaos were continuing to affect his life and family.

He also shares how searching for his missing brother in Winnipeg led him back into addiction, beginning years of crack use, financial collapse, job loss, and eventually homelessness.

Bill reflects on the people and experiences that helped him rebuild—including his father’s support, 12-step recovery, sponsorship, spiritual guidance, and the decision to walk away from a high-paying career in order to pursue work centred around service and helping others.

Enjoy this honest story about addiction, rebuilding, and learning how our greatest mistakes can become our greatest teachers.
