Jason Rudeen's Journey: From Meth Addiction to Recovery Advocate
Getting (and living) clean is something I never imagined I could do. I was addicted to drinking, using and... well anything! I guess meth was my kryptonite. I support all pathways to recovery.
Imagine being trapped in a cycle of addiction from the age of 13, unable to see a way out. That was Jason Rudeen's reality until he found the strength to break free at 36. In this episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live', Jason, now a co-host of The Way Out Podcast, shares his raw and unfiltered story of long-term recovery. For Jason, recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all approach.
He describes himself as a 'buffet style' user, both in his addiction and his recovery, drawing from multiple sources to maintain his sobriety since July 23, 2016. Meth was his kryptonite, but today, he's living proof that it's possible to turn your life around, no matter how deep the hole you're in. Jason emphasizes the power of community in recovery. He talks about the importance of networking and building relationships with others who understand the struggle.
Through sponsorship and recovery coaching, Jason has found a support system that not only helps him stay clean but also allows him to give back. Sharing his story has been therapeutic for him and has inspired others to open up about their own journeys. The hosts of 'Recovery Revolution Live' dive into the chaos and camaraderie that make their show unique, discussing everything from football to recovery resources.
This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of community and personal growth. Tune in to hear Jason's inspiring journey and gain insights into the multifaceted world of addiction recovery.
