Listen "Meet Jackson, a self proclaimed "alcoholic who's never had a drink""
Episode Synopsis
We're taking things in a slightly different direction today.
Join me as I sit down with Jackson as he discusses why he made the decision at a very young age to never pick up a drink. Growing up, he saw first hand the very ugly, unglamourous and unsafe side of drinking. As a gay kid, he was constantly harassed and knew that altering his state with drugs and alcohol would only make him more susceptible to bullying. Today he teaches public NYC students that there is another option and that saying NO to drugs/alcohol can not only be empowering but can also lead to an extremely fulfilled and FUN life.
I loved this chat so much and I hope you will too!
