❄ Freezer Burn - January Testimonial

Though originally a native of Prattville, Alabama, Jason found himself in New York when a welding position with a successful trailer business became available.
 
Within six months of relocating, however, life off the clock quickly took a turn for the worse when an opiate addiction began to claim more of his time and income.
 
The background story is an all-too-common one. Jason was an accomplished college baseball pitcher who underwent reconstructive shoulder surgery and soon found himself clinging heavily to pain medication through, and after, the recovery process.
"I was so hungry I could eat the spare tire off the bus."
Unfortunately, when the prescription medication ran out, the craving for the chemical numbing agents didn’t, and he began seeking alternative remedies in the form of illegal opiates. The addiction continued to haunt him for years after his playing days were over and ultimately cost him everything.
