Growing up in a Jewish community, Jacob Mack was introduced to alcohol at the early age of 8 years old. Now at the age of 22, he recently celebrated 1 year Sober. He is a music fan in Recovery and had originally heard of The Wharf Rats recovery meetings at Grateful Dead concerts. Since he is a fan of Electronic Dance Music, Jacob searched for recovery groups in this scene and came across 'Ravers For Recovery'. He also came across the Insomniac Consciousness Group and that is where we connected with him. He recently moved to Brooklyn, New York and loves this new sober way of life.
During the pandemic quarantine of 2020 we are finding silver linings through the form of Zoom Recovery meetings. One of those meetings which we have been a part of is the Insomniac Consciousness Group Friday Night meeting which we will include a link to below. Today, on the episode we are grateful to speak with one of our friends from that meeting, Diamond Doug. Doug has 11 years Clean & Sober and has enjoyed his sobriety at Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Coachella. One of the many benefits of his Recovery include being a part of the music scene in Whistler, B.C., Canada. His Recovery has allowed him to meet a lot of EDM talent including Benny Benassi, Paul Oakenfold, Fedde Legrande, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, and Jauz.

'I met Jimmy at a Recovery Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada back in 2018 when I was first thinking about getting back into Recovery.

Thank You Jimmy!' - Troy W.
