Every Day Counts: Jarrod McCown's Battle with Sobriety
“It's been over A Year since I've had a drink and every day is still day one. Every day you have to get up and make that decision. You have to get up and tell yourself: I'm going to say no, Today, I'm going to be sober Today, every day, and you can't think of the future.”
Imagine waking up every day knowing you have to fight the same battle. For Jarrod McCown, this is the reality of living with addiction. In this episode of 'Day 1', Jarrod opens up about his daily struggles and victories in staying sober. He doesn't sugarcoat the challenges – from walking past the beer cooler at the grocery store to the overwhelming thought of lifelong sobriety.
Instead, he offers a raw and honest look at what it means to take it one day at a time. Jarrod shares his insights on the importance of family support and finding a community that understands the journey. His mantra? 'Every day you have to get up and make that decision. You have to get up and tell yourself: I'm going to say no, Today, I'm going to be sober Today, every day, and you can't think of the future'.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Jarrod's story is a powerful reminder that every day counts.
