Ever think there's a connection between putting together IKEA furniture and getting sober? The steps to sobriety is much like the methodical assembly of those Scandinavian flat-pack puzzles. Each piece, much like each day in sobriety, is a step in the right direction, building a stronger, more resilient self. The way you tackle those flat-pack puzzles reflects how you approach life's challenges. What works for one person might not work for you.
This podcast is here to guide you through that assembly process, in a way that's both informative and entertaining. Welcome to Flat-Pack Sober!
Ever found yourself in awe of people who've completely turned their lives around? In this episode, we're going to have a heart-to-heart with the amazing Jesse Jackson. We're going to talk about the tough stuff—sobriety, community, and how to pour our passion into something that heals rather than hurts.
He gets personal about his struggles with alcohol, the family hurdles he's jumped over, and his courageous decision to embrace a sober life. We explored the power of having a solid support system, like the incredible backing Jesse receives from his wife and son. They're his pillars, always there to celebrate his victories or give him a nudge when he's off track.
And hey, we all have our obsessions, right? For Jesse, it's Bruce Springsteen's music—it lights a fire in his soul. But we'll also talk about the fine line between a healthy passion and one that might lead us astray.
This episode is all about embracing change, the power of community, and the joy of new beginnings.
This is how Jesse built the sober life he wanted. If Jesse's story resonates with you or you're on a similar path, remember that you're not alone. There's a whole community out there ready to support you. Until next time, keep building your life, one sober piece at a time.

Have you ever wondered how the journey to sobriety could not only change a life but also inspire a community? In this heartwarming episode, I sit down with the remarkable Benjamin Furnival, who opens up about his deeply personal quest for sobriety. We explored the depths of Benjamin's previous battles with alcohol, the decisive moment he chose to quit for the sake of his health and his family, and how he found unexpected joy in DIY projects while jamming out to tunes by The Jam.
Benjamin's narrative is not just his own; it's a shining example of how community support, particularly from networks like LinkedIn, can uplift and motivate individuals on their journey. His story highlights the significance of celebrating sobriety milestones and the profound effect they have on one's life.
This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a celebration of the human spirit's resilience and the transformative power of making positive life changes, giving a beacon of hope and encouragement for anyone facing similar challenges. This isn't just a talk about giving up alcohol; it's a discussion about embracing a new lease on life, the solidarity found in shared experiences, and the beauty of a supportive community.
