#095 | Angels in People‘s Clothing with Jackson from Stay Stopped | Jackson‘s Warstory

Though it wasn’t always apparent in the moment, along most of our journeys we can see people who wouldn’t give up on us. Ones who somehow knew we were worth saving. The ones who, in retrospect, must have been Angels in people’s clothing. 

 

This week is on fire with this topic coming from our man Jackson from Stay Stopped. Jackson came all the way from L.A. to be on the show and we’re happy to share his warstory with you. 

 

Even from a young age, Jackson never really felt like he fit in. When he discovered drugs and alcohol, his paths diverged and he started leading two lives. One was that of a doting business professional, the other of an addict-alcoholic working towards his next fix. It was easy for Jackson to justify his using when the consequences didn’t come fast enough. But as you’ll hear, that wouldn’t last long. 

 

Having finally surrendered to the solution, Jackson has over 6 years of sobriety and hasn’t spent a bit of it in idle. Check out Stay Stopped apparel, a clothing brand he founded that delivers a positive message with the goal of unifying the once broken. 

 

There’s a lot of hope and recovery in this one!
