From cocaine and prescription pills to heroin and speed, his addiction escalated until he found himself completely lost, living a life of chaos, loneliness, and hopelessness.But in the middle of that darkness, moments began to happen that JD believes were nothing short of divine intervention a stranger delivering a message from God, a police encounter that could have ended very differently, and a final moment of surrender that changed everything.JD shares the night he did his last shot of heroin, waking up on January 18th, 2011 with a decision that would shape the rest of his life. With nothing but a laundry basket of clothes and a willingness to change, he entered sober living and began the work that would rebuild him into the man he is today.He also breaks down the lessons that built his life after addiction the power of a mentor, the impact of discipline, and the morning routine that has anchored his sobriety for more than 15 years.

The path back starts with honesty, discipline, and the willingness to change one day at a time.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Redemption Month04:05 – Rebellious Childhood & Upbringing07:10 – First Alcohol Experience09:26 – Friends’ Car Accident Turning Point11:18 – Drugs, Ecstasy & Party Life14:57 – Marriage, Success & Escalating Addiction17:20 – Back Injury & Vicodin Addiction24:38 – First Sobriety Attempt & Relapse26:20 – Heroin, Speed & Rock Bottom30:29 – Prayer & Moment With God34:16 – Dropped Off & Police Encounter38:08 – Last Shot & Choosing Sobriety43:56 – Meeting His Sponsor48:00 – Morning Routine & Discipline52:19 – Final Message: Earn The SunriseFollow Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jd_denham_fitFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/JD-Denham/61563578940850/Intro Music: Pennywise – Let Us Hear Your Voice
