Justin Jones: Triumph Over Tragedy and the Journey to Sobriety

I want to do the best that I can for me and my family and I know that to do that, I need to be alcohol free.
How do you rebuild your life after unimaginable loss? In this episode of 'Over The Influence', hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Justin Jones, a father who has been alcohol-free for over four years. Justin's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. In 2016, he and his wife Lucy faced the unthinkable—losing their son Maximus, born prematurely on Boxing Day. As if that wasn't enough, Justin also lost his brother and mother later that same year.
Drowning in grief, Justin turned to alcohol as a way to cope, becoming adept at hiding his escalating drinking problem. However, after a disappointing finish in a Spartan race, he decided it was time for a change. Justin opens up about his transformative journey towards sobriety, emphasizing the importance of talking to those around you and seeking professional help. He found solace and strength in obstacle racing, which he says mirrors his path to sobriety—full of challenges but ultimately rewarding.
This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding freedom and becoming the best version of oneself, even in the face of profound loss. Justin's candid conversation is a powerful reminder that vulnerability can lead to strength, and community support is invaluable on the road to recovery.
