Jesse Haner's Path from Addiction to Advocacy on Recovery Corner

And so Today, ypr just gave me something that, uh, I get emotional talking about it. Um, we don't, I don't really serve a lot of youth, but gosh, it makes such a difference.
Jesse Haner's story is one of resilience, faith, and finding a true sense of belonging. In this episode of Recovery Corner, Jesse candidly shares his struggles with addiction and the relentless pursuit of acceptance that led him down a tumultuous path. Growing up, Jesse always felt like an outsider. His red hair and freckles made him stand out, and he turned to drugs and criminal activities in an attempt to fit in.
This desperate quest for acceptance eventually spiraled into addiction and homelessness. However, Jesse's journey took a transformative turn when he found faith in God. This newfound faith became the cornerstone of his recovery. Today, 'Coach Jesse' is not just a survivor but a beacon of hope and a prominent figure in his community. He serves as a youth mentor, a drug and alcohol counselor, and a leader for the Sacramento Young People in Recovery Chapter.
Jesse's story underscores the power of community and the myriad pathways to recovery. He believes that perseverance is key, whether on the football field or in life. His message is clear: 'Don't quit!' Through his advocacy and personal experiences, Jesse now influences legislation in California, striving to make systemic changes that support those battling addiction. Tune in to hear Jesse's inspiring journey and discover how faith, community, and relentless determination can pave the way to recovery.
