Addiction has torn our country apart from the inside. According to the CDC there were over 68,500 deaths from overdose in 2018. This is shocking compared to 16,000 overdose deaths in 1999. Opioid addiction, along with any addiction, is not confined to the person going through the struggle. There are even more loved ones who suffer through the hardships as hope rises and falls like the tides. This story unveils many points of confusion throughout the entire process. The author Jacob R. Jones dives deep into his addiction in the pages of this book. He uncovers many unanswered questions asked by so many afflicted with this disease. The first part of the book tracks his early years and descent into the grips of substance abuse. This all culminates in a terrifying hospital stay. From the hospital, to the rehab, his journey of hope begins. In the following chapters he reveals insights through the lens of active addiction, and the family. He proceeds to shed light on stories from rehabilitation facilities which have previously been a source of fear and unknown for first time recovering addicts and their families. All of these roads lead to the final chapter where he uncovers the problem and solution in easy, digestible language. If you or a loved one is suffering from addiction, or has in the past, this book is a must read!

Review

"Today, Jacob inspired me. I have not personally been through addiction myself, but saw my father struggle with it for years. His book is raw and a must read for anyone touched by addiction." - Tommy Jackson, Founder/Senior Consultant Jackson Wealth Management

"As a podcast host in recovery for 25 years, I have heard A LOT of stories about addiction and recovery. What makes Jacob special is his willingness not only to be transparent, but his dedication to recovery and to helping others. His story is very relatable. He could be anybody's son, brother, or friend. His story demonstrates that we're all vulnerable, and that even if we fall, there's always hope for a sustained life. Well done!" - Arlina Allen, Founder ODAAT Chat Podcast

About the Author

Jacob works at a non-profit, leads the prayer ministry at his church, sponsors individuals along the road to recovery, and much more. In June, he lead a group from his church who partnered with 10,000 other missionaries as they went to Peru. This was the largest missions effort in history, presenting the Gospel to over 1,000,000 people face to face. He says "to have a small part in this global event is such a humbling feeling. I am constantly in awe of what God is leading me to do. The past three years have been exceedingly and abundantly more than I could ask, think or imagine. Though I am joyfully content, I am fully convinced the best is yet to come." Soon after this historic event, Jacob flew to Nicaragua to marry the love of his life, Indi.

Jacob is 31 years old and currently lives in Florida. He continues to sponsor individuals and offers online coaching to assist people on their walk to recovery at thesustainedlife.com. He recently released a book entitled Recovered, which went #1 on Amazon as a new release in its category within hours of the launch.
