​Jack T's Story
Growing up as an only child to a single mother, Jack faced numerous challenges that led him down a path of substance abuse and homelessness. Despite these hardships, Jack never lost sight of his desire for a better life. His journey from addiction to recovery is a powerful reminder that with the right support, change is always possible.
, "I knew that I needed to provide for myself. I knew that I wanted to have what my peers were having at my age—an apartment I liked, things I loved, and a job where I felt like I was helping people. Now, I have a job I love, with people I love, doing something I love. Things are just complete, and that drives me."

​The Role of Sponsorship
Joining Jack in this episode is Colette, a previous guest from episode four, who adds depth and insight to the conversation. Colette and Jack's relationship exemplifies the importance of sponsorship in recovery. Their bond is a shining example of how mutual support and understanding can lead to profound personal growth and healing.
Colette reflects on her experience, "What he was able to do for me is, I'm telling you, I'm spoiled. He got a packet of the steps and put them in a three-ring binder, having everything written out for me. I did all of my steps, and Jack was there every step of the way. His authenticity and support saved my life."
Jack adds, "Sponsorship is very affirming to the choices I've made in my recovery. It's good to know that what worked for me can work for someone else. Seeing Colette grow and achieve her goals has been incredibly rewarding. It's a reminder that recovery is a shared journey, and we all have the power to make a difference in each other's lives."

Embracing the Journey: Colette's Story of Overcoming Addiction

A letter to addiction:
Dear Vodka and Crack, you are not worth my sobriety. You're not worth my relationship with my family. You're not worth my new friendships. You're not worth my peace of mind. You're not worth any humiliation I'd feel if I gave in. You're not worth myself respect. You're not worth my sense of community. You are not worth the respect of my peers. You are not worth another trip to the psych unit. You are not worth my ability to look people in their eyes. You are not worth my sobriety date. You are not worth my sanity. You're not worth my life. Not dying but living. And misery, how dare you try to constantly try and tell me that you're the solution. ​
