Jojo has an amazing story of recovery. In fact he has TWO amazing stories of recovery.
Jojo just passed his 1-Year this past April 7th, 2022...
He was also hit by a car back in the mid-2010s, leading him to a long road of physical recovery (learning how to walk again, slowly redeveloping mobility and strength in his right arm and hand).
Nowadays Jojo can be found at the local gym in his area of New Jersey! I highly recommend giving him a follow on IG. His posts are very inspirational!
I loved this interview. Thanks to Jojo.
Topics include:
Curiosity and boredom as what started his drinking,
His 2 DUIs and car accidents, getting hit by a car that was doing 50mph,
his college days provided a high point that was immediately self-sabotaged into a very low point,
AA, the initial addition of the gym, the discipline of working out being carried over into recovery, not talking yourself out of things,
the difference between "I have to" and "I get to".
Jojos recipe for recovery:
Spirituality, Church, journalling, and meetings.
"Paper is more patient than people."
