What makes us all addicts and alcoholics isn't what we used, or you know how much we used or what substance it was, or anything like that.
Jared M.'s story is one of transformation, resilience, and the power of support. In this episode of the 'Bradford Alumni Podcast', Jared opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs along the way. Starting with his first encounter with drugs in middle school, Jared takes us through his teenage years, marked by an identity crisis and the pressures of high school sports.
His addiction not only strained his relationships but also made it hard for him to function in daily life. However, the unwavering support of his family and a belief in a higher power played pivotal roles in his recovery. Jared highlights how crucial a support system is, sharing how his family stood by him even when he had lost faith in himself.
He also delves into how addiction had entangled with his sense of self, making it difficult to separate who he was from his substance use. Yet, through recovery, Jared discovered a new identity and purpose that weren't tied to drugs. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how honesty, vulnerability, and faith can lead to healing and hope. Whether you're seeking inspiration or understanding, Jared's journey offers valuable insights into the transformative power of recovery.
