There's something I get in the flow with this consciousness, this source consciousness, when I expose my demons and I'm connected to these other people that are brave enough to expose theirs.
Jessica Landon, once a fixture in the Hollywood scene, had it all - fame, glamour, and the company of celebrities like Hugh Hefner. But behind the scenes, she battled a severe alcohol addiction that led her to become a 24/7 vodka drinker. In this gripping episode of Sober Nation FM, Jessica recounts her descent into addiction and her multiple attempts at rehab, totaling ten over six years.
Her story includes harrowing moments like a near-fatal brain hemorrhage and a catastrophic car accident that endangered a family of seven. At her lowest, she weighed just 78 pounds and had a blood-alcohol level of .503, along with a life-threatening blood staph infection. Jessica's candidness about these dark times is both shocking and enlightening. She discusses the physical and emotional tolls of her addiction, including severe social anxiety and disordered eating. Yet, her story is also one of remarkable resilience.
Jessica speaks about the turning point when the pain of drinking finally outweighed the pleasure, leading her to embrace sobriety. Today, she’s more than six years sober, working as a Recovery Coach and co-hosting the Real Talk 100 Podcast. She’s also an author, sharing her journey in the book 'Human on Fire'. Throughout the episode, Jessica emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and community in recovery.
Her experiences serve as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is hope for a brighter future. Whether you’re in recovery or supporting someone who is, Jessica’s story offers invaluable insights and inspiration.
