From Self-Hatred to Self-Acceptance: A Cowboy's Journey Through Addiction with Shane Jacob

Send us a text Shane"s powerful story of transformation begins with a familiar struggle—that persistent internal voice whispering "you"re not good enough." Despite a relatively normal childhood, this nagging self-doubt led him down a destructive path of alcoholism lasting over twenty years, leaving behind a trail of broken relationships, legal troubles, and deep shame. The turning point came through an unexpected source—horses. After being thrown from a young colt and lying in the dirt blaming the animal, Shane heard the profound words that would change everything: "You did it to yourself." This moment of accountability sparked his journey toward recovery and self-acceptance. What makes this conversation extraordinary is Shane"s ability to articulate how our deepest beliefs about ourselves shape every aspect of our lives. He explains how horses became his greatest teachers, demonstrating authentic communication and true forgiveness. "If you come to the barn with a secret, you don"t have a secret," Shane reveals, highlighting how horses" hyper-awareness of human emotional states makes them perfect mirrors for our inner worlds. Shane challenges us to reconsider our relationship with difficult emotions. Rather than numbing discomfort through addiction or avoidance, he advocates feeling fully—even the painful parts—as essential for discovering lasting joy. "The most joy and happiness and peace that I"ve felt in my soul was a result of things that didn"t feel good," he shares, offering a profound perspective on embracing life"s full spectrum. The most transformative insight comes when Shane discusses healing. "You can change the past," he asserts, not by altering circumstances, but by changing what those experiences mean about our worth. His powerful message resonates throughout: "Regardless of what you have done and regardless of what has been done to you, you are 100% invaluable, priceless, worthy."
