I stopped using hard drugs, but I was still drinking. And um, it was a trip man like, because the way it progressed, it progressed.
Jay's story is one wild ride you won't want to miss. Growing up surrounded by older gang members, Jay's introduction to drugs began alarmingly early, in the sixth or seventh grade. His journey spiraled into a life of harder substances like methamphetamines and run-ins with the law, including a high-speed chase and a firearm charge. But that's just the beginning.

Jay's candid storytelling reveals the insidious nature of addiction and the incredible lengths he went to achieve quality sobriety.

Jay also opens up about his relationship with his fiancé, shedding light on the challenges and rewards of maintaining a relationship while navigating sobriety. Through every twist and turn, Jay's journey offers invaluable insights into the complexities of addiction and underscores the vital role of community support. Whether you're on your own recovery path or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a raw, honest look at what it takes to overcome addiction.
