Elevator Mechanic to Addiction Recovery Advocate | Stephen Hook's Story of Resilience
Episode 9
Monday, 9 March, 2026
TW: suicide, depression, substance abuseIn this episode, I sit down with Stephen Hook, a former elevator mechanic with 36 years in the trade, to talk about his journey through the industry and his long struggle with addiction and depression. Stephen shares how his father's pride in the union first drew him into the profession and then how he battled internally for years before seeking help. Stephen speaks openly about resilience and honesty in recovery, the power of community and the construction industry's growing willingness to address mental health. Now a recovery advocate, his story is a reminder that asking for help is strength, and that recovery is a lifelong process.
