If you're not enjoying recovery, you might as well drink, you might as well fucking drink, you know.
What happens when a young man, lost in the foster care system, battles addiction and finds his way to sobriety? In this episode of 'AutheNick', host Nick sits down with Jared M. to uncover his remarkable story. Jared’s struggle with addiction began early, with his first attempt at sobriety at just 19. Relapse after relapse, he faced a daunting journey, but one word changed everything: willingness. Jared's childhood was marked by feelings of isolation and abandonment.
Growing up in foster care, away from his biological family, he often felt like an outsider. These emotions led him down a path of substance abuse, seeking solace in drugs and alcohol. Jared’s story is a poignant reminder of how deeply family history can influence addiction; his biological family has a history of alcoholism, and his older brothers also battled addiction. Despite these challenges, Jared's journey to recovery is a testament to human resilience.
He speaks candidly about the turning points in his life—finding a sponsor, working through the steps of AA, and the power of gratitude. His story emphasizes the importance of being honest and open with loved ones, and how these connections can be crucial in the path to recovery. Jared's tale isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding joy in the small things and rebuilding relationships.
His experiences highlight the long and often difficult road to making amends, but also the profound impact of willingness and gratitude in achieving sobriety. This episode of 'AutheNick' offers a heartfelt glimpse into Jared’s life, providing hope and inspiration for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Jared’s incredible journey and discover the strength that lies within willingness and gratitude.
