In a compelling episode of The Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs celebrates 16 years of sobriety while revealing his proven three-step process for making critical decisions when supporting addicted loved ones. Through candid conversations with coaching session participants and reflections from his book "Unhooked," Jason provides a roadmap for families struggling with the complex terrain of addiction recovery.
Episode Highlights
- Jason outlines his three-step decision-making process: research thoroughly, make the best decision possible, and seek spiritual guidance
- Jason emphasizes keeping a "personal revelation journal" to document insights and breakthroughs
- Important reminder that addiction is a mental illness requiring treatment - "they're sick needing to get well, not bad needing to get good"
- Jason reflects on his 16-year sobriety journey that began March 19, 2009
- "Instead of looking for God's hand in our lives, look for his fingerprints" - finding guidance in seemingly small moments
The Decision-Making Framework That Changes Everything
Jason outlines a straightforward yet profound approach to making decisions when helping someone battling addiction:
- Research thoroughly – Weigh the costs, benefits, risks, and rewards of each option
- Make the best decision possible with the information available
- Seek spiritual guidance through prayer, asking for discernment if the chosen path aligns with divine will
The final key? Follow through on the course of action once determined.
The Overlooked Power of Journaling Personal Revelations
Jason emphasizes an essential practice for lasting recovery: maintaining a "personal revelation journal" to capture insights during moments of clarity.
"These calls aren't just a one hour of, 'okay, I feel better now. Now what?' Think of these calls as opening up the channels of light and love to heaven and to your higher power," Jason explains.
He recommends:
- Writing "PR" (personal revelation) in margins to mark significant insights
- Reviewing past journals regularly to recognize patterns and growth
- Recording "aha moments" to reference during difficult times

March 19, 2009 marks the beginning of Jason's sobriety journey. His path from selling hot dogs outside Home Depot to founding Brick House Recovery illustrates the unexpected ways recovery unfolds.
"At the time I was like, my whole life squandered and I'm starting over," Jason recalls of his early sobriety at 31. "I was comparing myself to others that I'd gone to school with that were on their fourth kid and were vice presidents in their companies."
A pivotal moment came through an unexpected sign – literally. While contemplating educational directions, Jason noticed a utility box marked "communications" – the exact program he'd researched the night before. This led him to meet his future wife and ultimately establish his treatment center.
The Fingerprints of Guidance
Jason introduces a perspective shift for those seeking direction: "Instead of looking for God's hand in our lives, look for his fingerprints."
This approach transforms seemingly minor decisions into meaningful turning points:
