What happens in the “quiet hours” of recovery when the meetings are over, your sponsor is asleep, and the cravings start to scream?
In Episode 624, I sit down with Burk Jackson, a man who has been walking the path of recovery since October 20, 1994. With over 31 years of lived experience, Burk knows that while clinical treatment provides the foundation, it’s the human connection that provides the fuel for a lifelong change.
After decades of seeing people fall through the cracks of a fragmented support system, Burk founded RecoveryBridge.app—a revolutionary, 100% free digital platform that ensures no one has to navigate sobriety alone.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The 31-Year Perspective: How the journey changes from Day 1 to Decade 3.
- The “Bridge” Concept: Why Burk is removing the price tag from life-changing peer support.
- Technology with a Heart: How a website app can foster deep, confidential, one-on-one human connection.
- The Power of Being “Seen”: Why talking to someone who has “lived it” changes the internal narrative of shame.
Whether you are on Day One or Year Twenty, Burk’s story is a powerful reminder that the bridge to a better life is built one connection at a time.
