After The Show: Empathy & Addiction with Guest JOMO
Manage episode 498239938 series 2880555
In this raw and honest follow-up conversation, Jomo opened up to Damon about what it really took for him to recover—and it wasn’t easy. He talked about having a “Joey problem,” the old version of himself that kept him alive on the streets but ultimately blocked him from healing. The hardest part wasn’t just staying clean—it was surrendering the survival traits, the anger, the need to be hard, and instead stepping into humility and vulnerability.
He emphasized that recovery didn’t happen until he became fully teachable. Jomo shared that giving only 50% of himself to the process meant only getting 50% of the results. The turning point came when he decided to go all in—to open his heart, let the old defenses drop, and fully commit to becoming a better version of himself.
