Incomprehensible Demoralization
By Jared Combs
We alcoholics are men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking. We know that no real alcoholic ever recovers control. All of us felt at times that we were regaining control, but such intervals—usually brief—were inevitably followed by still less control, which led in time to pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization…
— Alcoholics Anonymous
Jared Combs’s Incomprehensible Demoralization: An Addict Pharmacist’s Journey to Recovery is a riveting story of a man’s descent into hell – and back. It is a tale of addiction, both to drugs and alcohol, and the almost certain outcome of a ruined life.
Jared’s life starts out promising enough. In 1996, he graduated from college. And in that same year, he got his pharmacist’s license, married, bought a house, and got a real job. For his honeymoon, he and his wife Darcey took a cruise through the Caribbean.
But there was more than meets the eye to this appearance of a perfect life. Jared had already experimented with pharmaceuticals in high school. Now, with his job in the pharmacy, it was like a kid given the keys to the candy store. In fact, during their beautiful wedding ceremony, he was so loaded that he barely remembers the details.
There was such easy access to prescription drugs that he started swiping some to deal with the stress of his job. Later would come the alcoholism, the drunk driving, the arrests, and the troubles at home.
It was almost his undoing. But, with determination, love, and the grace of God, he managed to turn his life around.
How exactly did he do it?

We have an erroneous vision of what an addict looks like. The person sitting next to you in church could be an addict. It could be your doctor, lawyer, postal worker, or the little old lady that lives next door. Incomprehensible Demoralization drew me in and held me captive. Jared Combs describes the life of an addict and pharmacist. His marriage was deteriorating, but the pills were more important. Through the Lord, his Church, the support of his family and AA, he has become a recovering addict. Combs seizes every opportunity to help others. Share his witness.
