Summary

What does it take to finally quit drinking when you feel like you can’t stop? In this episode, we dive into a powerful sobriety journey that explores the reality of  blackout drinking, alcohol addiction recovery, and mental health . Jordan Hurt shares his story of growing up around alcohol, developing addictive patterns early, and using drinking as a way to cope with identity, pressure, and pain. What started as social drinking quickly turned into  blackout drinking, hospital visits, and complete loss of control . As his addiction progressed, his life became increasingly chaotic — from DUIs and broken relationships to isolation and severe mental health struggles that ultimately led to a stay in a psychiatric ward. This conversation is an honest look at: What blackout drinking actually looks like Why some people cannot moderate alcohol The mental health impact of addiction The turning point that leads to real change What alcohol addiction recovery really requires Why quitting drinking is a process, not a single decision If you’ve ever questioned your drinking, struggled to stop, or wondered what a real sobriety journey looks like — this episode will give you clarity and perspective. https://www.instagram.com/jordvnhurt/ https://www.instagram.com/queerityapp/ https://queerityapp.com/ If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave  https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/ or via my website  https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/ Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice. www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services https://nacoa.org.uk/ Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinez Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/ www.instagram.com/gro…
