Menace to Sobriety

I Shouldn’t Be Alive… They Cut My Skull Open

Menace to Sobriety

Show Notes

This is one of the most powerful and raw conversations we’ve had.

Jon opens up about a life shaped by a*diction, trauma, and the search for identity from growing up around a**ohol to spiralling into destructive habits that nearly cost him everything.

After years of battling his demons, things took a terrifying turn when a hidden brain condition led to emergency surgery… his skull removed, a blood clot drained, and his life hanging by a thread.

But this episode isn’t just about rock bottom it’s about self-awareness, survival, and what it really takes to change.

This is a real story from a real person no filters, no pretending. If you’re struggling, or you’ve ever felt lost… this one’s for you.
