“Alcohol led me to the point where I was losing everything."
We recently sat down with Jared to talk about his experience rebuilding his life a Step Springs:
“I was losing relationships with my family. I lost my car. I'd rather drink than pay my bills on my car, so it got repossessed when I was living in my car. I was living in a tent after that.
“The drinking wasn't for going to hang out with people. I mainly drank because I either, didn't want to wake up the next morning or my body just needed it for me to be able to function.
“I came to Step mainly because I was just wanting to change something – plus my family really wanted me to get help.”
We asked Jared what about the Step program has worked well for him so far:
“I think getting back into an agenda really helped. The first five days of being at Step kind of showed me all the stuff that I wasn’t doing anymore. It kept me accountable for staying sober and actually pushing to do this.
“Then by day three, once I got news that I was getting the kitchen job back that I had before Covid happened, I was motivated. I was ready to go. Since that day, I have not even thought about drinking.”
Ownership quickly moved Jared into the Kitchen Manager position.
“I'm happy to be back there. I was like, ‘Bring it. Give me all you got.’
“It feels great, because I've really gotten my motivation and passion back that I lost drinking.
“Today, being able to go places that I would only go to when I was drinking, being able to go anywhere where there's alcohol, I just I feel like it's not even a trigger for me anymore. Like it doesn't even cross my mind. I think that’s a great accomplishment.”
