Why is it that some stories just stick with you? Jack Summers, a systems administrator at CommQuest, opens up about his battle with addiction and his journey to sobriety in this heartfelt episode of the Hope Discovered podcast. Jack didn't start sharing his story until recently, and now he's celebrating eight years of sobriety, or as he calls it, his 'soberversary'.
This episode takes you through Jack's early struggles, from a skateboarding injury that led to pain pill addiction, to the spiraling consequences that followed - job loss, legal issues, and strained relationships. But it's not all doom and gloom. Jack's turning point came when he decided enough was enough and sought treatment. He talks about the stigma that often prevents people from seeking help and offers invaluable advice for those in recovery and their loved ones.
If you're looking for a story of resilience and the transformative power of honesty, this episode is a must-listen.
