Project Recovery

Jake Whimpey opens up about how a Multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to an opioid addiction


Listen Later

Jake Whimpey joins Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share his family's history with alcoholism, how it affected his choice to push back on alcohol throughout his teenage years, and why being diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis introduced him to substance abuse after being prescribed opioids to help with the pain.

Then Jake talks about blaming his newfound addiction on his MS diagnosis, his experience with trying to find recovery from opioids but being consumed by meth, and how meth led him to spend five months in jail.

We also dive into the extensive recovery work that Jake has put in to stay sober, how he has integrated himself into the recovery community, and his work in helping others who have a troubled past find work.
