Friday, 7 November, 2025
This week on Sober Champs, Pete and Aidan sit down with Jason Vickers, whose story spans recovery, relapse, and the painful truth of what happens when you drift from the work that once saved you.Jason shares how a tight-knit recovery group and a powerful spiritual experience helped him rebuild his life. But over time, life got louder and recovery got quieter. He talks openly about the slow unraveling — a beer to take the edge off a toothache, a hidden bottle under the floorboards, and the deep fear of being found out.What follows is a raw account of living a double life. Jason describes the emotional isolation, the lies, and the mental gymnastics of trying to hold it all together while quietly falling apart. Eventually, the relapse deepened into the very addictions he had grown up watching destroy his family.This episode is about more than slipping up. It’s about shame, identity, and the illusion of control. It’s about what it really means to get honest — not just with others, but with yourself.👉 Listen now to hear Jason’s full story.More about Jason: Nantoncks Metsuhttps://www.natoncksmetsu.com
