I actually have to like change my life, like if I'm doing things that are making me feel bad, maybe you don't do those things, you know.
Imagine growing up with a deep-seated fear of sin and hell, only to find solace in the unlikeliest of places—cough syrup. That’s just the beginning of Jed Payne's incredible journey, which he shares in this episode of 'Showing Up with Asher Gottesman'. Jed, the host of the 'Church and Other Drugs' podcast, sits down with Asher to recount his rollercoaster ride through addiction and recovery.
Raised in a religious household, Jed's initial brush with drugs spiraled into a full-blown addiction to cocaine by age 15. His story is a gripping tale of going in and out of treatment centers, burning bridges, and even living out of his car. Yet, despite his struggles, Jed continued to preach the gospel while battling his addiction.
The irony was not lost on him, but it wasn't until a spiritual experience in rehab that he found the strength to surrender fully to the recovery process. Today, Jed is sober and works in the treatment industry, but he candidly discusses ongoing challenges like his fear of fatherhood and living with depression. Despite their different religious backgrounds, Asher and Jed discover common ground in their views on God and spirituality.
They also touch on the importance of questioning one's beliefs, using humor as a tool in recovery, and openly discussing mental health and medication. Jed's story is a testament to the power of spiritual awakening and the ongoing journey of sobriety. Tune in to hear this inspiring conversation that promises to leave you reflecting on your own beliefs and struggles.
