Day 73 of Sobriety: The Epiphany That Launched My New Life!

On day 73 of sobriety, Jason Coombs was standing outside a hardware store in Salt Lake City wearing an apron and grilling bratwursts for minimum wage.

He was trying not to be seen.

The shame was loud.

Then one conversation flipped the script and launched a new life built on purpose, service, and usefulness.

In this episode, Jason shares the exact moment he stopped treating sobriety like the finish line and started living recovery as a daily decision. We talk about how relapse patterns usually begin with emotions long before substances, how one simple question can interrupt the spiral, and why purpose shows up in the process, not after everything is fixed.

This is for anyone rebuilding after relapse, walking through recovery, or loving someone who is.
