Joel's full story below:

"I broke the chains of Oxycontin addiction and rebuilt my life after years of grueling physical and mental pain from a big L5S1 herniation and back surgery. 🙏Here’s how:

In Sep 2021, I underwent a microdiscectomy after a year of excruciating pain and sciatica, following failed PT, chiropractic, and developing an Oxy addiction.

The surgery was deemed a success as I regained all of my lower body function and most of the feeling in my legs; however, the pain returned just a few months later with a vengeance.

At that point, I didn’t know if I would ever be pain-free again and couldn’t fathom living anymore 💔

The turning point came when my wife gave me an ultimatum in Mar 2022: either I get sober, or she and the kids would leave.

That’s when I chose sobriety and took control of my life.

In June of 2022, I started the Limitless Program. Right away, I felt pain relief and improved mobility from the first module.

Limitless became my anchor to stay sober and rebuild strength. I did 1 workout a day and life felt meaningful again.

Through 2023, I treated Limitless like a part-time pursuit, making small daily strides. But in Feb 2024, I decided I wanted to get as strong as possible and put back on my lost muscle.

I re-committed fully to Limitless and focused on building strength the right way. I’ve since gained over 30 lbs of muscle, transforming my body and my mindset. My weight went from 179 lbs to 212 lbs and I’ve lost 5% body fat.

But my biggest PR isn’t a number on the barbell or just moving pain-free; it’s that I’ve RECLAIMED my life, my marriage, my kids, and my strength.

I’m over 2 years sober. I beat Oxycontin addiction and became the dad my kids deserve and the husband my wife deserves.

From a man who couldn’t get out of bed or walk to the bathroom, I’m now the superhuman dad who can carry my kids and wife up the stairs, with no sciatica or back pain. 🦸‍♂️

If you’re struggling with pain or addiction, there is a path forward. The Limitless Program isn’t quick, but it’s worth every moment. 💪"
