Turns out... this is Jake's story (Ep. 04)

from Turns Out: A Sobriety Podcast · host Brian Shoberg

Jake traces the quiet build of an ordinary life. Then, the shocks that cracked it open. A best friend’s cancer, a brother’s spiral, a father’s death. He drank to outrun grief until there was nowhere left to go but a meeting and a prayer to a God he didn’t know. What follows is a simple, stunning arc: community, daily action, and a faith that reframed death itself.Turns out… every moment led here on purpose.00:00 – Jake opens with a quiet monologue about fate, faith, and the design behind every moment01:59 – Loss and collapse: a friend’s death, a brother’s decline, and the spiral that followed04:00 – The first prayer: crying out to a God he didn’t know, Jake steps into his first AA meeting05:22 – A higher plan: from despair to discovery, purpose is found in pain06:36 – Conversation begins: the guys unpack faith, fear, and the moment he finally let goNeed help?
