When I drank and when I did drugs, I always felt like I was able to feel that I could handle what was around the corner. It's what I was searching for was a way to control my emotions. It was, it was a lie, but it made me feel okay.
Jed A.'s story is one of resilience and transformation. Sober since May 14, 2013, Jed sits down with host Mike S. on the Keep Coming Back podcast to share his compelling journey through addiction and recovery. Jed candidly talks about his lowest points, including a relapse that saw him down a whole bottle in mere minutes. For a brief moment, it gave him what he craved, but the addiction roared back to life almost instantly.
His tale is a raw look at the grip of substance abuse and the rocky road to overcoming it. Jed discusses how he used drugs and alcohol as emotional crutches, impacting not just his own life but also his relationships. He emphasizes the importance of making amends and how admitting his powerlessness was a pivotal step in his recovery. This episode also touches on the significance of routine, especially during challenging times like the pandemic.
Jed found solace in virtual meetings, which became a cornerstone of his sobriety. This conversation is more than just a recount of struggles; it's a beacon for anyone grappling with addiction. Jed's story is a testament to the power of support and the human spirit's ability to rebound. If you're looking for inspiration or understanding, this episode offers both in spades.
