Jamie Leibert left federal prison with new tools and a new perspective—but he didn't walk out a completely changed man.

In Part 2 of Addiction Talk, Jamie shares what happened after prison as he continued struggling with anger, addiction, relationships, and the unresolved trauma of his past.

He explains how mixed martial arts taught him an unexpected lesson: instead of turning away when life hits you, sometimes you have to lean into it. That philosophy began changing the way Jamie approached problems, but even professional success and financial freedom weren't enough to keep him from returning to drugs.

Eventually, Jamie discovered wingsuiting and adventure sports—and something powerful enough to change what he wanted from his life. As he tells Joy, “I found something more powerful than addiction.”

But was finding purpose enough to keep him from going back?

Continue with Part 3 as Jamie reveals what happened next—and what he ultimately learned about relapse, environment, support, and recovery.
