Recovered with Jacob Jones

Jacob Jones takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster in this episode of 'Sober Nation FM'. He opens up about his childhood anxiety and how football initially served as his escape. But when an injury sidelined his sports career, Jacob found himself spiraling into drug use, leading to hospital stays and treatment centers. His turning point came in 2016 at his second rehab facility, where he embraced the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Now over three years sober, Jacob is not only thriving in his personal life but also helping others through his platform, The Sustained Life. Jacob and host Jonathan Sylvester dive deep into the complexities of sobriety, debating the terms 'recovered' vs. 'recovering'. Jacob emphasizes the importance of sponsorship and the 12-step program in maintaining sobriety and navigating relationships.

He candidly discusses how addiction impacted his identity and self-worth, and how sharing his journey has been a crucial part of his healing process. The conversation also touches on societal influences, like our convenience-driven culture, and how they affect recovery. Jacob offers practical advice on making sobriety more accessible and appealing. He wraps up by encouraging listeners to check out his book, 'Recovered: How an Unsustainable Addiction Led to a Sustained Life', and his ongoing work in recovery coaching.
