I did the whole like 12 steps and stuff like that, what happened to me was that I told my story in like media and things like that and as a result of that I started getting invited into government boards and groups and all this kind of stuff and met some of Australia's like leading researchers and all this stuff and started reading research papers and started to read different things about trauma and you know all this kind of stuff and it sort of shifted my perception and kind of confirmed some of the suspicions that I had about that whole 12-step process at the start and some of the things that I agreed with and didn't agree with and things like that so did that for like five to six years and then stopped going to meetings and kept doing like work on myself in other areas and in other ways and stuff like that.
Picture this: a young athlete with a promising basketball career, coached by none other than Andrew Gaze, finds himself spiraling into the depths of addiction. That's Jack Nagle's story, and it's one that will grip you from start to finish. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', Jack opens up about his journey from being a fit and healthy young man to battling severe drug and alcohol addiction.
His life took a drastic turn as he fell into homelessness, faced psychosis, and even contemplated suicide. But Jack's story doesn't end there. Through sheer determination and the support of rehab, he managed to claw his way back from rock bottom. Today, he's not just surviving; he's thriving and making a difference in the lives of others. Jack now runs outreach programs aimed at helping kids and adults break free from the chains of addiction.
His unique approach focuses on holistic healing, including gut health and biochemical processes. Jack's experiences have made him a passionate advocate for addiction recovery, and his work has positively impacted thousands of lives across Australia. This episode is more than just a story of recovery; it's a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of seeking help.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Jack's journey offers hope and practical insights into the path to sobriety.
