#131 - Luke Jackson - 2012 Olympic Boxing Captain - 1000 Days Sober, OCD & Vulnerability As A Man
In this powerful episode, we sit down with 2012 Australia Boxing Olympic Captain who shares his incredible journey from a tough childhood and the boxing ring to the depths of substance abuse—and ultimately, to sobriety and self-discovery. With over 1000 days sober, he reflects on the turning points that shaped his life and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
We discuss:
- The fight outside the ring: How boxing at 18 became an escape from a chaotic upbringing
- OCD and how he used that to feel in control again and how he managed difficult compulsions
- Hitting rock bottom: The downward spiral following a career milestone in 2020, fueled by drugs and alcohol.
- The in-between phase: “I didn’t want to live, but I didn’t want to die.” How to navigate this emotionally paralysing state.
- Breaking the stigma: Why men often mask emotions with substances, and the importance of expressing vulnerability.
A raw, real and inspiring conversation. Enjoy.
