Julian Ness: From Teenage Turmoil to Sobriety and Gratitude
But I think that being self-aware is a really good thing. Okay, I'm going to use this, and the word is gratitude, and you know, you may think like you may think, why that's not an action, but for me it is.
Imagine being kicked out of your home at 16 and spiraling into addiction. This is the raw and compelling story of musician Julian Ness, who joins hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler on 'Let The Journey Begin'. Julian takes us back to his turbulent teenage years, where constant clashes with his father pushed him into a rebellious lifestyle. His journey through addiction saw him hitting rock bottom, even spending a year in jail by the age of 18.
But it was a near-fatal overdose that became his turning point. Instead of succumbing further to his vices, Julian sought help and began to rebuild his life from the ground up. In this episode, Julian shares how changing his social circle and embracing gratitude played crucial roles in his recovery. He speaks candidly about the importance of mental health, faith, and supportive relationships in overcoming addiction.
Hilary and Jason guide this heartfelt conversation, offering listeners a chance to see the transformative power of resilience and gratitude. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Julian's story is a beacon of hope that recovery is possible.
