Nov. 26, 2024 – It’s been four years and five months since Sam Tutanuak of Rankin Inlet had a drink of alcohol or a puff of marijuana.
Tutanuak, 57, who now resides in Iqaluit, said believe it or not, over a 20-year period he figures to have gone through more than a million dollars on his addictions. “That’s an astronomical number and that’s not including aged 12 to 20 and it’s also not including ages 41 to 48,” said Tutanuak.
“I finally reached the realization that I can battle my demons within myself without having external substances come in. I finally figured out that I was able to talk through whatever issues I was battling at the time, but it wasn’t easy.
“That’s one of the main things that has kept me away from using these substances.”
