In this episode of Get Unhooked, hear a real conversation about what it looks like to love an addicted child without losing yourself in the process.

That voice in your head telling you “you can’t” is louder than you think.

Jason calls it the addict voice. Others call it the inner critic. Either way, it shows up when things get hard. Cold plunges. Races. Recovery. Life.

And the more you recognize that voice, the more you can separate it from who you really are. That same awareness can also help you see your loved one differently. Not as the problem, but as someone battling something real.

Recovery does more than change one life. It can restore relationships that once felt impossible. Donna shares how a birth mother’s recovery made it possible for her to rebuild her life and reconnect with her son.

In this episode of Get Unhooked, hear how recovery can create ripple effects across families and generations.

What you say to yourself matters more than you think.

Jason shares a simple practice that helped him quiet the inner critic. A sticky note on the mirror that says, “Love myself with a compliment today.”

Because when you really stop and think about it, the way we talk to ourselves can be harsh. Sometimes even abusive. And most of us would never speak to someone we love that way.

In this episode of Get Unhooked, Jason walks through how changing your self-talk can start to change your life.

“If I talked to you the way you talk to yourself… would we even be friends?”

That question stopped Jason in his tracks. Because the truth is, the inner critic often speaks in ways we would never tolerate from anyone else.

In this episode of Get Unhooked, Jason shares a moment that helped him see just how harsh his self-talk had become and how that awareness can be the first step toward change.

One of the hardest lessons in parenting is learning to let your child be who they are. Not who you hoped they would be. Not who you expected them to become. Just who they are. Donna shares how difficult and important that has been while raising adopted children who have struggled. Acceptance does not mean giving up. It means loving them honestly.

In this episode of Get Unhooked, hear a thoughtful conversation about adoption, attachment, addiction, and the kind of love that stays present through struggle.

Addiction is not only a mental battle. For many people it also feels like a spiritual one. Jason reflects on how substances slowly took control of his choices until he felt like a puppet to something darker than simple cravings.

What helped break through that darkness was something small but powerful. A simple message from his mom that reminded him he was loved and still mattered.

In this episode of Get Unhooked with Jason Coombs, Jason shares why preparing yourself spiritually and showing small acts of love can make a difference in someone’s darkest moment.

Many people in addiction want to change. They just do not believe they can. Jason talks about how the gift of desperation, combined with hope, helped rebuild his belief that change was possible. That belief is called self-efficacy, and it is essential for recovery.

Sometimes the turning point is simply hitting a wall and realizing something has to change.

In this episode of Get Unhooked with Jason Coombs, Jason invites listeners to reflect on their own “gift of desperation” moments and what those moments revealed.

For many families, surrender begins with making peace with the worst case scenario. Not because you want it to happen, but because you recognize that you cannot control the outcome.

There are two different surrender processes in addiction. One belongs to the person struggling. The other belongs to the family. They are separate journeys, and one does not control the other.

In this episode of Get Unhooked, learn why accepting that truth can bring unexpected relief and clarity.

Rock bottom is not the end. It is often the beginning. It is the place where someone finally puts the shovel down and stops digging deeper. Jason reminds us that desperation cannot be forced, but it can prepare the ground for real change.
