Jakob Miller's Raw Journey Through Addiction and Recovery

Episode Overview

  • Surround yourself with people who genuinely want to get clean.
  • Recognise early signs of relapse like irrational thoughts and self-doubt.
  • Stay humble and teachable in recovery.
  • Understand that addiction is a disease that requires daily management.
  • Fatherhood can be a powerful motivator for sobriety.
You cannot be too dumb for recovery, but you can think you're too smart.
In this raw and heartfelt episode of Pondoff's Anonymous, co-host Jakob Miller opens up about his journey through addiction, recovery, and the life-changing moments in between. Chris Pondoff and Jeff Allen join Jakob as they tackle the chaos of childhood, learning disabilities, and the feeling of being different. The conversation is brutally honest, touching on alcohol, weed, and the slippery slope into harder substances like heroin.
They explore the mind games of addiction: denial, relapse, and the struggle to claw your way back. Fatherhood takes centre stage as they discuss how becoming a dad can change everything—or nothing—until you're ready to face your demons. With no sugarcoating, the trio dives into the importance of surrounding yourself with people who genuinely want to get clean and the critical role of meetings and support systems.
Jakob shares wisdom about recognising the early signs of relapse and the necessity of staying humble and teachable in recovery. His story is a testament to the power of honesty and perseverance in overcoming addiction. If you're looking for an episode filled with real talk and valuable insights, this one's for you. So, why not give it a listen and see how it resonates with your own journey?
