The Chicago Jon persona may have evolved, but the spark of trying new things and the healing that comes through creative expression remain undiminished.

When my father, Ed Lomnicki, joins the conversation, he brings with him a lifetime of stories that unravel the complex threads of addiction and the beauty of redemption. His candid reflections on a youth marked by the allure of a stolen six-pack evolve into a tale of  substance abuse that promised false camaraderie, post-graduation lulls, and finding faith in God in order to turn his life around. Yet, it's the laughter we share, the dreams we chase, and the humble admission of our darkest days that truly knit this episode into a tapestry of human resilience.Transitioning from the shadows to the light, Ed recounts the pivotal moments that reshaped his destiny—moments of legal reckoning that bloomed into spiritual awakenings. His transformation is not a solitary narrative, as we also explore the roles of fellowship programs, the embrace of his faith in God, and the laughter that heals. Ed recounts the 20 year venture of hosting Christian rock concerts and festivals in the Chicagoland Area, and how running a non-profit took its toll on not only him and his wife, but our entire family as well. We share not just the narrative of one man's road to sobriety and service, but an invitation to embrace your own narrative, to find wellness, and to live a life unburdened by the chains of yesterday. Join us, and perhaps you'll catch a glimpse of the freedom waiting on the other side of the struggles we all face.Support the Show.Follow Jon Cerone and The FEEL FREE PodcastParables: Musings From an Addict on the Journey Toward Wholeness on Amazon:https://a.co/d/iWp2X6DInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joncerone/?hl=enFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Jon-Cerone/100075476931880/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP5j0_wqY2yj-2JyXU_27iQTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@jonceronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@feelfreeclips

In the realm of Twitch streams and video edits, Edgar sheds light on the balance of entertaining an audience while fostering a space brimming with positivity.
