Ever felt trapped in a cycle you couldn't escape? Jared M knows that feeling all too well. In this gripping episode of the Bradford Alumni Podcast, Jared opens up about his battle with addiction during his college years at the University of Alabama.

Jared's turning point came through surrender, acknowledging that he couldn't fight this battle alone.
His story highlights the crucial need for treatment and compassion in the journey to recovery. Whether you're personally struggling or supporting someone who is, Jared's experience offers a beacon of hope.
