Now I know what I need to do when, like when I had that relapse before I knew what I needed to do.
What happens when the need to fit in spirals into a life of addiction? JD's story is a raw and honest account of his struggle with alcohol and prescription drugs, starting from his teenage years. He shares how his desire to be like the 'greasers' from *The Outsiders* led him down a dark path, experimenting with roxies, perks, and eventually suboxone and opioid pills.
His tale takes a heartbreaking turn with the death of his fiancée, which pushed him deeper into addiction. But JD's story doesn't end there. He found his way to sobriety through various programs and now dedicates his life to helping others at the recovery center he runs with his wife. This episode of 'Sobersalvation' with Christa Marie Hewson dives deep into JD's experiences, offering a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction.
JD's candidness about his relapses and the impact on his personal relationships makes this episode both relatable and inspiring. Whether you're on your own journey to recovery or supporting someone who is, JD's transformation from addict to advocate will leave you feeling hopeful and empowered.
