Jeremy Jacobs: Navigating Addiction, ADHD, and Sobriety Language

The biggest shift for me was when I, last year, was diagnosed with ADHD. The biggest shift for me, I mean it's evident in the fact that I've had long periods of abstinence over the last few years, very long periods for me.
Ever thought about how the words we use shape our recovery journey? In this eye-opening episode of 'Through the Lens of Recovery', hosts Annie Murray and Sophie Turton sit down with serial entrepreneur Jeremy Jacobs. Jeremy, who also presents the podcast 'How Not To Run a Business', gets candid about his struggles with addiction and his recent ADHD diagnosis. He shares how these experiences have influenced his path to moderation and sobriety.
The conversation dives deep into the cultural impact of addiction within the LGBTQ+ community and examines how language can either help or hinder our association with being sober. Jeremy's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's also about finding a balance that works for him, even if it might be different from traditional paths to sobriety. This episode offers a unique perspective on the intersection of mental health, substance use, and the power of words.
Whether you're navigating your own journey or supporting someone who is, Jeremy's insights and experiences are sure to resonate.
