In episode 18, Jordan Rogers shares his powerful story of addiction, incarceration, and redemption. Growing up in a loving and supportive family, Jordan found himself drawn to drugs and alcohol at a young age. Despite multiple attempts at rehab and legal challenges, he struggled with addiction throughout his adolescence. It was during a period of incarceration that Jordan had a moment of clarity and realized he needed to address the deeper issues behind his addiction. He committed to healing and sought help through rehab and community. After his release, Jordan rebuilt his life, pursued education and career opportunities, and dedicated himself to helping others through their own recovery journeys. Jordan’s story reminds us that there is ALWAYS hope.

Key Takeaways:

* Addiction can stem from a variety of factors, including trauma, insecurity, and a lack of positive outlets.

* The justice system often fails to address the root causes of addiction and instead focuses on punishment rather than rehabilitation.

* Recovery is a lifelong journey, and it requires self-accountability, community support, and a commitment to healing.

* Healing from addiction involves facing and processing emotions rather than numbing them with drugs or alcohol.

* Sharing our stories and supporting others in their recovery can be a powerful tool for transformation and healing.
