In this powerful share, Jack opens up about his journey through addiction, homelessness, and the turning point that led him into recovery.

From days spent in a tent behind a motel, cut off from family and consumed by alcohol and methamphetamines, to finding hope in detox, rehab, and the rooms of A.A., Jack’s story is raw, honest, and inspiring.

He reflects on the pain of living in constant need, the fear of never escaping the cycle of addiction, and the relief of finally stepping off the “Ferris wheel.”

Today, nearly a decade sober, Jack talks about rebuilding his life: reconnecting with family, finding real friendships, sponsoring others, and living with integrity.

It’s a testimony to the fact that no matter how low the bottom, recovery is possible—and life on the other side can be beautiful.
