In this episode of Addicted to Recovery, Jack shares his powerful journey from early addiction to nearly two years clean. Growing up with a lack of emotional support, he spent much of his life searching for validation in external things—first through food and obsessions, and later through drugs and alcohol. What began as experimentation quickly escalated into dangerous and destructive behaviour, driven by a desire to escape his own thoughts and feelings.

After reaching a breaking point in his relationship, Jack found hope in recovery meetings and made the decision to change. Now a father, he reflects on how connection, honesty, and community helped him rebuild his life and find a new way to live.
