Today I have a life beyond my wildest dreams. Because someone told me: give yourself a chance.
What would you say to your past self if you could? In this episode of 'Friend of Jerry', Jersey Jerry takes a poignant trip down memory lane to mark his seventh year of sobriety. Instead of his usual social media post or video, Jerry pens a heartfelt letter to his younger self, reflecting on the highs and lows of his journey to recovery.
He opens up about the challenges he faced, from the initial hug with his mom at Newark airport to living in a sober house with eight other guys. Through his words, you can feel the raw emotion and gratitude for the support he received along the way. Jerry's counselor, Joe Ross, initially intimidating but ultimately a crucial part of his recovery, gets a special mention.
Jerry also shares the joy of saving enough money to move into his own place with a friend and eventually landing a job at Barstool Sports. This episode isn't just about looking back; it's about celebrating the progress and the community that made it possible. Jerry dedicates this milestone to his son, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and listening to those who have more experience in sobriety.
His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just a personal victory but a communal one. If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear Jersey Jerry's moving letter and find inspiration in his journey.
