September is National Recovery Month, and this episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast takes a heartfelt look at transformation through faith. Hosted by Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley, the episode features Wesley Jackson sharing his powerful testimony of overcoming addiction and finding new life through Christ. Growing up in a family with little religious influence, Wesley fell into drug and alcohol abuse early on.
His journey spiralled through his 20s and 30s, leading to repeated stints in jail and deeper addiction, particularly to methamphetamine. The turning point came when his wife left him a heartfelt letter, urging him to change for the sake of their son. This moment of clarity led Wesley to seek help at a residential program in Mississippi, where he experienced a profound spiritual awakening.
Through the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, Wesley found the strength to turn his life around completely. He now dedicates his life to helping others through the Freedom Center, a men's residential home in Corinth, Mississippi. The episode is an inspiring testament to the transformative power of faith and the importance of community support in recovery.
Wesley's story is not just about personal redemption but also about the ripple effect of positive change on his family and those he now helps. If you're looking for a story that combines raw honesty with hope and renewal, this episode is a must-listen.
