From Ice Rinks to Recovery: Jim's Transformative Journey
My message was: you know, make the changes, because then your life will change.
Picture this: a former NHL player, known for his grit and determination on the ice, now channeling that same drive into his recovery journey. In this episode of 'Canadian Sober Eh!', host Dougie Fresh sits down with Jim, a man who knows a thing or two about change. Jim's mantra, 'Nothing changes if nothing changes', isn't just a catchy phrase—it's a hard-earned truth from his own battle with addiction.
He opens up about the pivotal moments that led him to surrender to his addiction and the life-altering experiences of intervention and rehab. But Jim's story doesn't stop at his own recovery. He's taken his journey a step further by mentoring others, particularly kids, who are navigating their own paths to sobriety. Through candid conversation, Jim and Dougie explore the importance of embracing solutions rather than getting stuck on obstacles.
Jim's message is clear: make the changes, and your life will change. Whether you're at the start of your recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a powerful reminder of the transformative power of change.
