The Last Christmas Before Sobriety | The Iron Perspective 38

In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham opens up about the future of the show, the evolution of his own life, and the brutal honesty of what year-end reflection really looks like for an addict in long-term recovery. From questioning whether to continue the podcast, to asking listeners what direction they want next, JD gets candid about purpose, calling, and the weight of responsibility as a man in sobriety.

From revisiting the darkness of his last Christmas before getting sober, to the spiritual encounter that changed the trajectory of his life, JD walks through the hopelessness, heroin addiction, speed runs, sleepless weeks, and desperation that nearly killed him. But he also shares the God-shot moment on a liquor-store sidewalk that planted the spark of hope that led to January 18th, 2011 the day everything changed.

He reflects on the habits, disciplines, and non-negotiable routines that have anchored 15 years of sobriety, including waking up at 4 a.m., never hitting snooze, earning the sunrise, staying connected to God, and paying the tab every single day. He breaks down the dangers of drifting, the slow fade that pulls alcoholics back toward chaos, and why removing meetings or spiritual practices opens the door to old thinking, old temptations, and old destruction.

This episode is a raw reminder of what happens when an addict forgets how bad it was, and what’s possible when a man stays accountable, stays connected, and stays in the fight.
