I know enough about the disease to know it's really not about how much you use. It's about the consequences it's having in your life.
Jon's tale is a gripping account of life in the fast lane, where social drug use spiraled into a daily necessity, and eventually, an addiction to substances like cocaine, ecstasy, and meth. Working in the frenetic world of New York City's media industry, Jon's story is one of highs and lows, with a stark look at the interconnectedness between sex and meth use.
This episode of 'Proud Voices' takes listeners through Jon's resistance to recovery programs and the significant role spirituality played in his journey to sobriety. Hosts Kaylee Hoaby and Luke Miller dive deep into Jon's experiences, exploring how living in the city exacerbated his need to feel comfortable in his own skin. Through candid discussions about his compulsive behaviors and darker moments, Jon reveals the critical importance of speaking with those who truly understand the struggles of addiction.
His narrative is not just about the challenges but also about the hope and resilience that led him to sobriety on September 3, 2006. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Jon's story offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is always within reach.
