What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this gripping episode of The Freeology Podcast, Jason Lyle shares his raw and personal journey from the depths of shame and suicidal thoughts to finding self-love and integrity. After an affair cost him his marriage, ministry, and the trust of his children, Jason found himself trapped in a cycle of guilt and self-loathing.
But it was the discovery of nervous-system practices, like cold water immersion and breathwork, that became the unexpected lifeline he needed. These practices helped him break free from the chains of addiction and shame, allowing him to rebuild his life with honour and self-respect. Jason candidly discusses the pivotal moment when he nearly succumbed to his despair but instead chose to face his shame head-on.
He shares how making hard decisions, like taking a cold shower at 5 a.m., became symbolic of reclaiming control over his life. Through anecdotes and heartfelt reflections, Jason illustrates how these practices not only transformed his mindset but also equipped him to guide other men on their path to recovery. The episode is a testament to the power of self-inquiry and the strength found in vulnerability.
Jason's story serves as a reminder that every new choice is a step toward becoming the person you aspire to be. Whether you're grappling with addiction or seeking personal growth, this episode offers a roadmap for embracing change and finding peace within yourself. So, are you ready to make the next right decision?
