Yeah, that is a God thing. They're just the times at which, for no other reason than God's presence, do these things happen in our lives.
Growing up in the heart of South Louisiana, Jason S. faced a childhood marred by early exposure to alcohol and drugs. By the tender age of 8, he was already drinking, and by 14, he was smoking crack. His life quickly spiraled into a cycle of rage and violence, culminating in a dramatic high-speed police chase after stealing a car at gunpoint.
Jason's actions landed him in prison, where he continued his destructive habits, even attempting a daring escape that ended in an eight-hour manhunt through dense forest. Released after 13 years behind bars, Jason returned to his old ways, finding himself in two abusive marriages and struggling with fatherhood. But amidst the chaos, he held onto a sliver of hope.
By early 2021, hitting rock bottom pushed him to drive to Houston for detox, inspired by the stories of sobriety from men he knew. This marked the beginning of his transformative journey through AA. In this episode, Jason candidly shares his tumultuous past and the path that led him to sobriety. His story is raw and unfiltered, highlighting the depths of addiction and the struggles of rebuilding a life from the ground up.
Now two years sober, Jason reflects on the support and community within AA that played a crucial role in his recovery. His narrative is a powerful testament to resilience and the possibility of finding hope and purpose, no matter how dire the circumstances.
