I think you know SOBER BABY is a way that I try to show up for myself, and I'm going to get emotional on this one.
What happens when your childhood trauma follows you into adulthood? In this episode of 'SOBER BABY', Marina sits down with Jack for a raw and honest discussion about his life with addiction and the path to recovery. They dive into the complexities of living with addiction, from the constant urge to self-medicate to the challenging process of learning self-love.
Jack opens up about his struggles with graphic violence, eating disorders, and substance abuse, painting a vivid picture of the battles he faced. He shares how his first therapist made him realize that addiction is a lifelong disease, one that requires constant attention and care. Jack also talks about the importance of nurturing oneself from the outside, as parts of the brain affected by addiction can't simply be 'fixed' later on.
The conversation takes a poignant turn as Jack reflects on the people he hurt during his addiction and the steps he took to make amends. He speaks candidly about the paradoxes of recovery and how SOBER BABY has become a crucial part of his journey to self-acceptance. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of pain, healing, and the ongoing struggle to live authentically.
Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Jack's story offers valuable insights and a sense of hope.
