A Tale of Two Recovering Addicts
OUR STORY
Jeremy(L) and Nate(R) didn't set out to build a brand. They set out to live — fully, passionately, without apology.
It started on Nate's couch; Jeremy was deep into a game of Fortnite when he said it without thinking:
"Dude, I'm proudly addicted to this game."
The phrase hung in the air. Then something clicked.
What if anything you're passionate about could wear that label — without shame?
Not just gaming. Not just snowboarding. Anything. Everything. Whatever you can't live without.
That was the moment Proudly Addicted was born — not from a business plan, but from a genuine expression of what it feels like to love something intensely and own it out loud.
WHO WE ARE
We're two guys from Colorado who know what addiction really means — and we know what it looks like when that same intensity gets channeled into something that fuels your life instead of draining it.
Jeremy "Stoned was my identity."
27 years of wake-and-bake. Believing high Jeremy was accepted Jeremy. Multiple intense panic attacks that changed everything.
Recovery journey started in January of 2023.
Ultimate lesson: get high on chasing dreams.
Nate "It's just one drink."
Nightly pours that became weekend blackouts. One blackout too many — probation, five-figure fees, and a reality check that couldn't be ignored.
Recovery journey started in October or 2023.
Ultimate lesson: zero lost days, more money saved for the natural high.
WHY THIS BRAND EXISTS
We're not here to discount what addiction is. We've lived it. We respect the weight of that word.
We're here because we believe the same intensity that once controlled us can be redirected into something powerful — something healthy, something worth declaring publicly.
When someone wears their passion badge, they're not just wearing a hoodie. They're telling the world what fuels them. And that declaration — that moment of owning it out loud — has a ripple effect.
It reminds the person next to them of what's possible in themselves.
That's Inspire Possible. That's why we're here.
Own what you can't live without. Declare it. Share it.
