What happens when two men in recovery sit down and tell the raw truth?
In this episode of Slaying Sober, James sits with Jared Threlfall, a man who went from surf-loving teenager… to chaotic binge drinker… to a father fighting to rebuild his life—and is now celebrating 9 years completely alcohol-free.
From the infamous NAAA football game (“the bag snatchers vs the bedwetters”) to the darkest nights of guilt, violence, hangovers, broken relationships, anxiety, court fines, and a life spiralling out of control—Jared opens up with honesty that hits hard.
This isn’t a polished story—it’s the unfiltered journey of someone who white-knuckled sobriety for seven years, found a miracle in accountability, and rebuilt his life from the ground up.
His story is proof that anyone can rise from chaos, shame, and addiction—and that recovery doesn’t have to look perfect to be powerful.
Jared’s turning point?
A broken relationship.
$62,000 in fines.
A court appearance.
A moment of surrender he calls a miracle…
And a decision that saved his life.
