Show Notes
Jesse opens up about having many attempts at recovery which always seemed to inevitably circle back to substance use and downfall. Always trying to fit in and searching for a place to belong, while living fast with drugs and criminal behavior it always seemed to be the route toward acceptance for Jesse. For many, that path often leads down a road of addiction, emptiness, and homelessness.
In time, Jesse found his path to recovery through his faith in God. Today, “Coach Jesse” is a prominent member of his community and beacon of hope. He has found a place to fit in as a youth mentor, a drug and alcohol counselor, and leader for the Sacramento Young People in Recovery Chapter who uses his experiences and voice to influence legislation in his state of California.
Though Jesse has had many ups and downs he continues to believe that if you don't quit you win. He says that's true on the football field, that's true in recovery, and that's true in life. Don't quit!
