I always thought the drug addict was the person underneath the bridge, homeless. And I know attraction rather than promotion.
Meet Jeremy Powell, a building engineer from the San Francisco Bay Area with a sobriety date of 6/3/13. In this episode, Jeremy opens up about his battle with opiate addiction and his journey to a sober life. He shares how getting clean has led to a fulfilling life, including marriage, fatherhood, and even buying his second house. But Jeremy's story doesn't stop at recovery. He's also found a unique way to give back to the community through humor.
As someone who loves making people laugh, Jeremy has dabbled in recovery stand-up comedy and co-founded 'dopesickmemes' with his friend John. This platform allows him to create memes that bring a smile to those in recovery, offering a light-hearted take on serious issues. Jeremy discusses the power of honesty in sobriety, the value of the 12-step program, and how humor can break down the stigma of addiction.
His approach of using 'attraction over promotion' helps others find their path to recovery. If you're looking for a blend of inspiration and laughter, this episode is a must-listen.
