Jack Rees on Battling Alcoholism and Overcoming Resentment

Holding resentments distorts vision in a way that will always obscure what is real and true.
Jack Rees takes you on a deeply personal journey through his battle with alcoholism in this episode of the JACKCAST Podcast. Sharing raw and honest details, Jack opens up about the destructive impact his drinking had on his life, relationships, and mental health. He doesn’t shy away from the tough moments, recounting how alcohol strained his family ties and friendships. This isn’t just a story of struggle, though; it’s also one of hope and resilience.
Jack discusses how he found his path to sobriety and the ongoing commitment it requires. A key focus of this episode is the toxic nature of holding onto resentments and grievances. Jack explains how these negative emotions can cloud your judgment and keep you stuck in a cycle of pain. To illustrate this, he shares a poignant poem by his friend Walter, tweaking it slightly to resonate with those in recovery.
Jack wraps up the episode with a powerful message: recovery is possible with the right steps, tools, and community support. He encourages listeners to embrace stillness and find peace through the fellowship of AA. If you’re looking for an inspiring story of overcoming addiction and learning to let go of past hurts, this episode is a must-listen.
