Life has a funny way of coming full circle, and for @jaredflashgordon, that moment came when he ran into someone from his past who couldn’t believe he was now a UFC fighter. It’s a situation many of us can relate to – crossing paths with someone from our past when we’re in a completely different place in life. But Jared’s story isn’t just about shocking people with his success. It’s a powerful reminder that our current circumstances don’t define us, and that there’s always room for growth and transformation. 🙌 Tune into episode 8 of the Rise Above Podcast to hear the rest of this story!

@jaredflashgordon’s story is a powerful example of how even in our lowest moments, there is always a path forward. He bravely shares about a particularly dark period in his life, consumed by addiction. Jared found himself resorting to panhandling on the streets, stealing from anyone he could, and even robbed a drug dealer for $10,000. 💰 But even in his darkest days, he never lost hope. A tiny voice kept whispering that this was not the end of his story, that there was still a chance for a new chapter. And that’s the message Jared wants to share to anyone who may be facing their own battles. No matter how far you’ve fallen, no matter how impossible it may seem, there is always a way out. There is always an opportunity for redemption. Your current circumstances do not have to be your final destination. You have the power to rewrite your narrative, to choose a different path. If you’ve ever found yourself in the depths of darkness, feeling like there’s no escape, know that you’re not alone. There is a community of survivors ready to support you, to help you find your way back to the light. ❤️ Tune into the Rise Above Podcast as Jared dives deeper into his journey of recovery and the hard-won wisdom he’s gained along the way.
Jared says that if he had never walked through the doors of an AA meeting, he may have never found his higher power. But the journey to get there was far from easy. Jared’s story is one of ups and downs, of triumphs and setbacks. He’s no stranger to the challenges that come with overcoming addiction, and he’s the first to admit that progress isn’t always linear. Tune in as Jared shares more about his path to sobriety and the lessons he’s learned along the way. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is a process, and that with determination and a strong support system, anything is possible.
Can’t wait to get in there again⚡️ . . . #mma #ufc #fight
Jared’s friend Sergio seems to have it all – a college degree, a successful career as James Gandolfini’s personal assistant for a decade, a loving family with two amazing kids. From the outside looking in, it’s a picture-perfect life. But as Jared reveals, even those who appear to have everything together can be fighting battles we know nothing about. For Sergio, that battle was a crippling gambling addiction. Sergio’s story is a testament to the fact that addiction can touch anyone, regardless of their circumstances. It doesn’t care about your background, your achievements, or your status. But it’s also a story of hope. By shedding light on an issue that so many people grapple with in silence, it shows others that they’re not alone, and that there’s no shame in seeking help. 💪
I got a chance to talk to some patients to see how their experience at @wellnessrecoverynj has been, heres what they had to say😇 . . . #sober #sobriety #recovery
