I don't know how to describe that feeling of love that came over me, that I don't know how to tell you how amazing I felt when I felt that addiction leave my body and how I felt like I have endless potential in that moment.
What happens when addiction collides with a life-altering moment of faith? In this episode of 'The Recovering Reality Podcast', host Erik Frederickson welcomes his cousin, Jack Mangum, to share his incredible story. Jack, now a Vice President at a bank with a loving family, wasn't always on this successful path. Years ago, addiction had a tight grip on him, nearly costing him everything.
But a powerful encounter with God changed the trajectory of his life in ways he couldn't have imagined. Jack opens up about his early struggles with substance abuse, starting with marijuana and prescription drugs. Despite warnings from his parents, he found himself ensnared by addiction. His story takes a dramatic turn when he describes the moment he felt a divine love wash over him, freeing him from his addiction.
'I can't put into words how amazing it felt when that addiction left my body', Jack recalls. 'In that moment, I felt like I had endless potential'. Through candid conversation, Jack highlights the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive friends and the ongoing effort required for recovery. His journey offers hope and practical advice for anyone battling addiction.
Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, Jack's story serves as a testament to the transformative power of faith and community. Tune in to hear how Jack's life was radically changed and find inspiration for your own journey towards freedom.
