| When Faith Feels Forced, Recovery Shuts Down—Here’s What Works Instead | 20 Aug 2025 | 00:24:52 | |
When Faith Feels Forced, Recovery Shuts Down—Here’s What Works Instead Families often hear that spirituality is essential for recovery—but what happens when your loved one resists it at every turn? In this heartfelt episode of the Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs shares how his own hardened ego and spiritual resistance nearly cost him his life in treatment. What finally broke through wasn’t pressure, lectures, or rules—it was unconditional love. Jason recounts his fifth attempt at treatment, where pride, shame, and defiance collided with a group that refused to let ego poison recovery. At the breaking point, he packed his bags to leave—but an unexpected moment of divine intervention stopped him. What followed was a vision that revealed God’s love in a way he could finally receive. For families, this story offers a crucial insight: faith cannot be forced, but it can be nurtured. Validation, patience, and steady boundaries become the soil where a spiritual awakening can finally take root. Episode Highlights
Key Takeaways for Families
Closing Jason’s story reminds families that spirituality isn’t about coercion—it’s about creating the conditions where God’s love can be received in His timing. Families can’t force awakening, but they can nurture it by validating, holding boundaries, and trusting that God is already at work.

| “The Night I Packed My Bags to Relapse… and the Secret That Kept Me Sober” | 13 Aug 2025 | 00:17:54 | |
Episode 18: “The Night I Packed My Bags to Relapse… and the Secret That Kept Me Sober” In Episode 18 of the Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs takes listeners back to his fifth and final treatment center experience at age 31. This episode reveals the pivotal moment that changed everything - a moment balanced precariously between walking away from recovery forever and embracing the uncomfortable truth that would save his life. Episode Highlights [00:27] Jason introduces the person-centered approach and the "oxygen mask" principle The Moment Everything Changed Jason's story reaches its climax at what he calls "the jumping off point" - that critical moment where addiction either claims another victim or loses its grip forever. After four failed treatment attempts, Jason arrived at his final program thinking he had mastered the art of appearing compliant while remaining unchanged. But this treatment center operated differently. The staff refused to coddle or enable. They wouldn't co-sign his manipulation tactics. Most importantly, they challenged him to step outside his comfort zone. The pivotal night arrived when Jason packed his belongings in anger, ready to walk 20-30 miles downtown for drugs. What happened next defies logical explanation - he simply fell asleep. "I don't even remember thinking about falling asleep," Jason reflects. "The reality is it may have well has been and probably was [divine intervention] because I don't remember thinking about falling asleep." The Power of Therapeutic Confrontation Upon waking, Jason encountered Kris, a counselor who would deliver the message that changed his trajectory. Her approach wasn't gentle or accommodating. Instead, she offered stark clarity: "I could tell you're struggling, but I want you to feel it. In fact, you have to. You gotta feel it. You gotta heal it. Don't run from your emotions anymore." Kris presented Jason with two simple requirements if he wanted to stay:
These weren't suggestions or therapeutic recommendations. They were boundaries - clear, firm, and non-negotiable. Kris risked losing a client and the associated revenue, but she prioritized Jason's genuine recovery over financial considerations. The Speed of Change and Pain Jason introduces a fundamental principle that governs transformation: "We change at the speed of pain." This concept explains why some people remain stuck in destructive patterns while others breakthrough to lasting recovery. Pain serves as the catalyst for change, but only when we stop running from it. As Kris taught Jason, emotions become teachers when we honor them rather than numb them. "Those feelings will be the gurus to teach me things if I don't numb and run and stuff 'em." Wiser individuals learn from observing others' journeys rather than requiring personal catastrophe. This observation-based learning allows people to change before hitting their own rock bottom. The Influence Principle Perhaps the most practical insight from this episode centers on influence versus control. Jason emphasizes a truth that every family member needs to understand: "I can't change anyone else. All I can do is influence."

| How to Become a Best-Selling Author with Bridget Cook-Burch | 22 Apr 2025 | 01:00:13 | |
In this illuminating episode of The Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Combs interviews his mentor and "book whisperer" Bridget Cook-Burch about transforming personal experiences into powerful published works. As a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Bridget reveals the process of creating transformational books—from initial concept to final publication—while Jason shares insights from his own journey writing "Unhooked." Episode Highlights [04:01] Jason reflects on the various motivations behind writing a book, from professional credibility to changing lives [08:05] Bridget explains that great storytelling requires vulnerability: "In the darkness often lies the seeds of your greatest glory" [13:27] The critical importance of creating a timeline to see patterns and meaning in your life experiences [15:31] The powerful shift from writing for yourself to writing specifically for your readers [19:11] Bridget shares how author Melissa Moore wrote for one specific "avatar" yet reached countless others [32:05] Winston Churchill's quote about writing being a journey from "toy" to "tyrant" that you eventually "fling to the public" [44:01] Jason reveals how his book "Unhooked" helped parents who lost their son to an overdose find peace [51:33] The origin story behind Bridget's Inspired Writers Retreat and her promise to help others tell their stories Writing for Your Avatar: The One Person Who Needs Your Message A critical shift occurs when writers move beyond self-expression to focus on serving readers. Jason describes his own breakthrough when reading "Millionaire Messenger" by Brendan Burchard: The Hero's Journey Framework Both Jason and Bridget reference Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey as an essential structure for transformation stories. The Writing Timeline: A Churchill-Worthy Warning For those expecting a quick process, Winston Churchill's quote offers sobering perspective: "To begin with, it's a toy, then an amusement, then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, and then it becomes a tyrant. And in the last stage, just as you were about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public." Jason candidly shares that his book appeared on his vision board for ten consecutive years before publication. Rather than being discouraging, this timeline allowed for deeper insights and experiences to inform the work. Action Steps for Writers Create a personal timeline to identify patterns and meaning in your experiences Identify your specific "avatar"—the one person who needs your message most Watch "Finding Joe" documentary to understand the hero's journey framework Consider reading "Aspire" by Kevin Hall for an example of layered storytelling Start with vulnerability rather than trying to appear perfect Begin writing sessions with intention (meditation, prayer, or reflection) Recognize that significant books often take longer than expected to complete Resources Mentioned "Unhooked" by Jason Combs "Finding Joe" documentary about Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey "Aspire: Discovering Your Purpose Through The Power of Words" by Kevin Hall "The Witness Wore Red" by Rebecca Musser and Bridget Cook-Burch "The Shack" by William Paul Young YourInspiredStory.com - Bridget's website with various writing programs This episode offers both practical guidance and inspiring examples for those seeking to transform personal experiences into published works.

| The Decision-Making Framework That Changes Everything | 04 Apr 2025 | 00:32:14 | |
In a compelling episode of The Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs celebrates 16 years of sobriety while revealing his proven three-step process for making critical decisions when supporting addicted loved ones. Through candid conversations with coaching session participants and reflections from his book "Unhooked," Jason provides a roadmap for families struggling with the complex terrain of addiction recovery. Episode Highlights
The Decision-Making Framework That Changes Everything Jason outlines a straightforward yet profound approach to making decisions when helping someone battling addiction:
The final key? Follow through on the course of action once determined. The Overlooked Power of Journaling Personal Revelations Jason emphasizes an essential practice for lasting recovery: maintaining a "personal revelation journal" to capture insights during moments of clarity. "These calls aren't just a one hour of, 'okay, I feel better now. Now what?' Think of these calls as opening up the channels of light and love to heaven and to your higher power," Jason explains. He recommends:
From Selling Hot Dogs to Saving Lives: Jason's Journey March 19, 2009 marks the beginning of Jason's sobriety journey. His path from selling hot dogs outside Home Depot to founding Brick House Recovery illustrates the unexpected ways recovery unfolds. "At the time I was like, my whole life squandered and I'm starting over," Jason recalls of his early sobriety at 31. "I was comparing myself to others that I'd gone to school with that were on their fourth kid and were vice presidents in their companies." A pivotal moment came through an unexpected sign – literally. While contemplating educational directions, Jason noticed a utility box marked "communications" – the exact program he'd researched the night before. This led him to meet his future wife and ultimately establish his treatment center. The Fingerprints of Guidance Jason introduces a perspective shift for those seeking direction: "Instead of looking for God's hand in our lives, look for his fingerprints." This approach transforms seemingly minor decisions into meaningful turning points:

| Fear is a Lack of Mental Discipline: The Fear-Faith Connection in Supporting Loved Ones with Addiction | 26 Mar 2025 | 00:37:18 | |
Fear is a Lack of Mental Discipline: The Fear-Faith Connection in Supporting Loved Ones with Addiction In this "Get Unhooked Podcast" episode, Jason Coombs (Brick House Recovery) discusses Chapter 11 of "UNHOOKED" – the Hope chapter. He explores establishing boundaries, effective communication, and transforming struggles into service opportunities. Key Moments
Mental Discipline: Foundation for Change Jason establishes that managing addiction – whether our own or supporting others – begins with mental choices, not emotional reactions. "Every day, what I have control over is how I choose to view any situation," he emphasizes. Three Guiding Principles
Identity Change: The "Sober Secret" True recovery requires identity transformation beyond abstinence. "A lot of people can get sober, but the true recovery is identity change," Jason explains, sharing his transition from seeing himself as a failure to recognizing his qualification to help others. Understanding this distinction helps family members better support the whole-person transformation essential for lasting change. Understanding Fear Jason identifies two core fear categories that drive anxiety around addiction:
Service: The Antidote Participants share how serving others transformed their journeys. One notes: "Serving with other struggling parents has made such a difference. All my things about myself get lost in being of service." Actionable Takeaways
Resources
Jason concludes with gratitude for the community, acknowledging that transformation occurs through connection with others and a higher power.

| They Swear They’ll Change… But Will They? How to Know What Stage They’re Actually In | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:33:36 | |
In this solo episode, Jason unpacks one of the most transformative frameworks for families who love someone struggling with addiction—and feel like nothing they’ve tried is working. If you’ve ever said “Why don’t they just stop?” or found yourself rescuing your loved one (again) despite your best intentions, this episode is for you. Jason walks you through:
This episode is especially powerful for the family member who’s exhausted, discouraged, and wondering if hope is even still possible. It is. 📌 Highlights:
🔑 Key Takeaway: Natural consequences aren’t punishment—they’re one of the only things strong enough to wake up a brain that’s been hijacked by addiction.

| From Crisis to Catalyst: How a Teen's Drug-Induced Psychosis Became a Path to Healing | 11 Mar 2025 | 00:28:20 | |
In this episode, Jason Coombs of Brick House Recovery shares how a teen's frightening drug-induced psychosis transformed into an opportunity for healing and growth. After using psilocybin mushrooms and high-potency cannabis concentrates, the teen experienced severe hallucinations, mood swings, and panic attacks lasting five days. Through building trust, identifying underlying issues, and reframing anxiety as a potential strength, Jason demonstrates how even the most challenging situations can become catalysts for positive change. The Unexpected Emergency Call When Jason Coombs received an urgent text from a concerned mother about her teenage son experiencing a drug-induced psychotic episode, he knew immediate action was necessary. The teen had been suffering from audible and visual hallucinations, mood swings, and panic attacks for five days straight—a situation requiring careful, informed intervention. What began as a crisis evolved into a powerful lesson about modern substance risks, trust-building techniques, and transforming traumatic experiences into opportunities for growth. Episode Highlights
The Reality of Modern Cannabis Concentrates During conversations with the teen (referred to as "Troy" in the podcast), Jason discovered the crisis stemmed from a combination of psilocybin mushrooms and highly concentrated cannabis products. This reflects a dangerous trend facing today's youth. Modern cannabis concentrates present significantly heightened risks compared to traditional cannabis:
The physical effects can include rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, impaired coordination, respiratory issues, nausea, and headaches. More concerning are the psychological effects: acute anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, hallucinations, memory impairment, and potential triggers for psychosis in vulnerable individuals. Creating Trust Through Non-Judgmental Communication Jason's approach to helping Troy demonstrates the critical difference between gaining trust and building rapport with teens in crisis: "Trust is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, and strength in someone. Rapport is a close and harmonious relationship in which you understand each other's feelings and ideas." Jason employed several key techniques that parents and professionals can learn from:

| “She’s Pregnant—and the Baby’s Yours” —The Text That Changed My Life Mid-Relapse | 17 Nov 2025 | 00:18:30 | |
In this raw and deeply personal episode, Jason Coombs shares the sacred moment that changed the trajectory of his life—from self-destruction in active addiction to becoming a man with purpose. Through the emotional lens of his son Nathan’s birth, Jason unpacks the concept of “the gift of volition”—that pivotal shift when internal motivation finally replaces external pressure. Whether you’re someone struggling with addiction or a family member watching someone you love spiral, this episode will move you. You’ll hear the story of a man who relapsed on his way to a family trip, got a text that he was going to be a father, and spiraled deeper before finally choosing a new path. A path rooted not in fear, but in purpose. You’ll learn why love alone isn’t enough to save someone—and why families can’t force change, but they can prepare the soil for it. Jason offers profound insight into the power of spiritual surrender, the role of purpose in healing shame, and how relapse isn’t failure—it’s part of the process for many. This isn’t just a story about addiction. It’s a story about transformation. It’s for anyone clinging to the hope that something more is possible. Episode Highlights:
If you’re a family member who’s tried everything to help someone get sober—this episode is for you.

| Silencing the Inner Critic - Understanding the Addict Voice | 10 Nov 2025 | 00:27:13 | |
🎙️ Episode 30: Silencing the Inner Critic – Understanding the Addict Voice In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, Jason Coombs reflects on the one-year anniversary of his father’s passing—and what emerges is a raw, real conversation about one of addiction’s most cunning enemies: the inner critic, or what Jason calls the “addict voice.” Families often wonder: Why can’t they just stop? Why don’t they believe us when we tell them they’re enough? This episode offers real answers—and a powerful framework for recognizing how internalized shame and toxic self-talk keep people stuck in destructive cycles, even when they want to change. Jason draws from his own recovery journey, his Iron Man training, and Chapter 7 of his book Unhooked to reveal how the addict voice operates like Gollum—manipulative, believable, and brutally loud—while the real self is quiet, kind, and often drowned out. Whether you’re someone struggling with addiction or a loved one who feels helpless on the sidelines, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. 🔑 What You’ll Learn:
👪 For families: This episode will help you stop spinning your wheels trying to fix what’s not broken in you. Learn how to stop rescuing and start reconnecting—so you can influence from a place of peace, not panic. 👤 For individuals: If your own self-talk has become a weapon, Jason gives you practical, compassionate tools to stop the spiral and start healing. 💡 Big takeaway: The inner critic drains energy. Encouragement—even to yourself—creates strength. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or somewhere in between, this episode will give you tools to silence the voice that says you’re not enough…and finally hear the one that’s been whispering truth all along. 📚 Want to go deeper?

| The Pose Every Man Hides Behind and Why Dropping It Changes Everything with Duane Crabtree | 26 Jan 2026 | 00:57:40 | |
Dropping the Pose Is Where Healing Starts. I used to think most men were struggling with behavior. But a lot of the time, they’re struggling with hiding. In Part 2 of the Warrior Heart series, I sit down with Duane Crabtree, Executive Director of Warrior Heart, to talk about the mask men wear and why most of us don’t even see it. What looks like confidence is often fear. What looks like strength is often self-protection. We talk about porn, people-pleasing, compulsive behaviors, and the quiet search for validation that drives so many men. We also get practical about what it means to fight for your beauty. Not with grand gestures. With presence, safety, and emotional intimacy. This episode is for men who are tired of performing. And for women who want to understand what’s really happening behind the silence. In this episode, you’ll hear:
This is Part 2 of 3. If Part 1 opened the door to identity, this one shows what happens when a man finally stops faking it.

| What Most Men Never Say Out Loud About Their Identity with Chris Bennett | 19 Jan 2026 | 00:50:13 | |
Recovery doesn’t end when you get sober. For many men, the real work starts after the crisis passes. In Episode 40 of Get Unhooked, Jason Coombs shares why long-term sobriety still isn’t the same as emotional and spiritual freedom. After years in recovery, he found a new layer of healing through Warrior Heart Bootcamp, a three-day, phone-free men’s retreat designed to help men reconnect with God, brotherhood, and their true identity. This conversation is a window into the male heart. And it’s not just for men. Women will better understand the silent weight many men carry, the fears they rarely voice, and why safety and vulnerability matter so much in lasting recovery. You’ll also meet Chris Bennett, known as the “Hulk of Hope,” whose story of shame, fatherlessness, and transformation became a turning point not only for him, but for his marriage and family. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series on identity, healing, and what happens when men stop performing and start getting honest. In this episode, we cover:

| Day 73 of Sobriety: The Epiphany That Launched My New Life! | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:26:39 | |
On day 73 of sobriety, Jason Coombs was standing outside a hardware store in Salt Lake City wearing an apron and grilling bratwursts for minimum wage. He was trying not to be seen. The shame was loud. Then one conversation flipped the script and launched a new life built on purpose, service, and usefulness. In this episode, Jason shares the exact moment he stopped treating sobriety like the finish line and started living recovery as a daily decision. We talk about how relapse patterns usually begin with emotions long before substances, how one simple question can interrupt the spiral, and why purpose shows up in the process, not after everything is fixed. This is for anyone rebuilding after relapse, walking through recovery, or loving someone who is. Episode Highlights (timestamps)

| “ The Cracker Barrel Conversation That Finally Broke Through My Addiction” | 07 Apr 2026 | 00:39:19 | |
What if the most loving thing a family can do is stop helping? In this raw solo episode, Jason Coombs shares the unfiltered story of his addiction, his parents’ breaking point, and the family therapy moment that changed everything: “Get off the beach.” If you’re exhausted from absorbing the waves of someone else’s addiction, this episode was made for you. There’s a moment in almost every family’s addiction story where love and enabling look identical. You can’t tell them apart. That’s not weakness — that’s the nature of the disease. 🌊 The tsunami metaphor — why every decision an addict makes eventually crashes onto the family shore “For the first time, my parents understood that to love me did not mean to rescue me. It meant setting boundaries. It meant getting healthy. It meant getting off the beach and taking their life back.” TIMESTAMP GUIDE: RESOURCES MENTIONED: Join Jason Coombs LIVE each week for tips and tricks and LIVE Q&A’s.

| “ When Helping Hurts: The Gift of Desperation in Family Recovery” | 23 Mar 2026 | 00:16:48 | |
When Helping Hurts: The Gift of Desperation in Family Recovery In this episode, Jason Coombs tackles one of the hardest truths in family recovery: sometimes helping actually hurts. Drawing from Chapter 6 of Unhooked, Jason shares his personal rock bottom and explains why desperation is often the turning point that families try hardest to prevent. When we rescue, soften consequences, or step in too soon, we may delay the very pain that could finally lead someone to change. This is a hard episode. But it’s an honest one. And for families exhausted by the cycle of addiction, enabling, fear, and second-guessing, it offers clarity. Jason walks through why rock bottom is not always the end. Sometimes it’s the beginning. He also shares the small act of love from his mother that broke through the darkness—and why boundaries and compassion have to work together. In this episode:

But they can stop delaying it. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is let pain do its work. Resources: Unhooked is available on Audible and Amazon.

| "What Siblings See That Parents Often Miss About Family Recovery" with Cory & Melissa | 09 Mar 2026 | 00:48:00 | |
When a family is living through addiction, most of the focus falls on parents and spouses. But siblings carry their own kind of heartbreak, confusion, and hope. In this episode of the Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs is joined by his brother Cory, his sister Melissa, and co-host Jennifer Chase for an honest conversation about the sibling experience in family recovery. They talk about loving someone from a distance, learning the difference between helping and fixing, and discovering that recovery can change the whole family, not just the person struggling. You’ll hear how distance sometimes became a healthy boundary, why education helped replace judgment with compassion, how trust was rebuilt slowly over time, and what actually helped their parents during the hardest seasons. This episode is a reminder that showing up with love, honesty, and presence can matter more than having the perfect words. If you have ever wondered what siblings feel, what they carry quietly, or how family healing really happens, this conversation will stay with you. Show Notes In this episode, we discuss:
