I don't put on a Yankee uniform anymore, I don't go to Yankee Stadium now, I go to Fenway, now I play for the Red Sox.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after battling addiction? In this episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', host Sean Dustin chats with Jack Allen Levine, an addiction specialist, author, and serial entrepreneur. Jack's story is a testament to the power of resilience and determination. Growing up in a loving middle-class family, Jack's journey took a dark turn at 16 when he started using drugs.
Despite his struggles with substances like cocaine and Percocet, Jack managed to graduate from Syracuse University and build a successful career in advertising. But his true transformation came when he embraced recovery as an ongoing journey rather than a struggle. Jack shares how he plugged into the recovery lifestyle, surrounded himself with sober friends, and began to address the emotions he once masked with drugs.
He likens recovery to being traded to a different team—it's a fresh start with new rules and new support systems. Throughout the conversation, Jack emphasizes the importance of taking personal responsibility for one's choices and actions. He advises against making promises that might be hard to keep and instead suggests letting actions speak louder than words. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone facing addiction or supporting someone who is.
Sean Dustin guides the conversation with empathy and curiosity, making it a must-listen for those seeking inspiration and hope.
