Ever thought about how the pressures of fitting in can lead to unexpected paths? Meet James Sewell, the Owner and CEO of JDS Consulting, Inc. Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, James often felt out of place. But everything changed when he hit college. Finally feeling free to be himself, he let loose—perhaps a bit too much. What started as fun nights out quickly spiraled into a routine of bar-hopping six days a week.
This lifestyle led to several DUIs and a wake-up call from a court-ordered counselor who helped him turn his life around. In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler chat with James about his battle with alcohol and his journey to sobriety. James opens up about his struggles with generalized anxiety and how alcohol initially seemed like the perfect escape.
But as his drinking habits grew out of control, he realized he needed to confront the deeper issues driving his addiction. James shares how therapy and self-reflection helped him understand why he drank and how he learned to be kinder to himself. He emphasizes the importance of accepting the reality of sobriety and finding support in community. Now sober for over a decade, James highlights how owning your past can pave the way for a brighter future.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation about the highs and lows of addiction, the power of therapy, and the significance of self-care. If you're looking for a story that blends honesty with hope, James Sewell's journey offers valuable insights and inspiration.
