JD Dilks: A Journey from Addiction to Hope

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, there is help, and we do recover.

His story isn't just about the darkness, though.
JD talks about the mindset shifts that were crucial for his sobriety and how punishing himself became a destructive habit. The physical toll of his addiction was severe, leading to pancreatic attacks and gallbladder issues, yet JD found a way to persevere.

They discuss the often-overlooked aspect of financial assistance for rehab, making recovery accessible for more people.
This episode is a raw, honest conversation about the realities of addiction and the hope that lies in recovery. If you or someone you care about is battling addiction, JD’s story might be the beacon of hope you need.
