Jason J. from Portland, OR speaking at the Pine Lake speaker meeting in Issaquah, WA - April 14th 2018 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Born into chaos and raised amid instability, Jason J. was the kind of wild, deeply troubled child who once stole the neighbor’s cat—three times. Despite his loving grandparents stepping in to give him safety, Jason’s descent into alcoholism, drug use, and criminal behavior spiraled until it landed him in prison, facing hard truths and broken relationships, including missing his grandmother’s funeral—the woman who always saw the good in him. Yet amid the wreckage, Jason found AA, a sponsor who demanded accountability, and a new life fueled by faith, humility, and service. Through countless challenges, including relapse, divorce, fatherhood struggles, and incarceration, Jason’s ultimate victory lies in becoming the man his grandmother always believed he could be. His legacy is a living amends: showing up, helping others, and honoring the grace he was given—day by day. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
