Jamie’s Journey: From Darkness to Advocacy

There's way more going on than we can see, and so that's why it's my responsibility to just do what's in front of me and do the next right thing, follow the path that's laid out in front of me, because I can't be left to my own devices.
Jamie’s story is nothing short of remarkable. At just 21, she faced a murder charge and a life steeped in addiction. Fast forward two decades, and Jamie has been sober since that fateful day. In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Jamie opens up about her tumultuous past and the moment she turned to Alcoholics Anonymous for help.
She recalls a desperate prayer, 'God, I can’t stop, help me want to stop, please help me want to stop drinking, because I don’t want to stop, but I can’t keep living like this'. Her journey is a testament to the miracles she witnessed in AA, which kept her coming back for more. Jamie doesn’t just share her personal recovery story; she also delves into her advocacy work and the impact of the justice system on addiction and recovery.
Her experience has fueled her passion for change, and she uses her voice to make a difference for others struggling with similar battles. This episode is a powerful listen for anyone seeking hope and inspiration in their own recovery journey or for those supporting someone through theirs. Jamie’s resilience and commitment to helping others shine through every word, making her story one of true transformation.
