Recovery Nation Media Guide Biography
Jonathan Marsh is the founder of Recovery Nation and serves as its primary recovery coach. He has authored each of the site's workshops and has written extensively on addiction and recovery over the past ten years. Jon's breakthrough work, He Danced Alone--provides a raw and harrowing look into the heart and mind of a sex/love addict. This book is offered free on this site as an educational tool for select audiences.
A married father of four, Jon experienced a twenty-year sex and love addiction before making the transition to a healthy life. In the eighteen years since this transition, he has openly shared his experiences with the sex and love addictions, as well as his health-based path through recovery.
Residing in Omaha, Nebraska, Jon has worked in such renowned clinical/behavioral treatment and personal development settings as the Menninger Clinic, the Salvation Army and Boys Town. He has held various positions working hands-on with the chronic mentally ill and the homeless. From 1997 to 2005, he has held the position of Director of Health Education & Training with an addiction assessment firm committed to improving the efficacy of mental health/addiction treatment and clinical services through technology. In the summer of 2006, he resigned his position coordinating a five-year, federally-funded addiction treatment project that involves teaching a philosophical shift from the historically ineffective medical-based addiction treatment model to a culturally-oriented/value-based treatment model for indigenous communities across the United States to focus exclusively on developing Recovery Nation into the premiere resource for those seeking a permanent end to their addiction. Conferences/Radio/TV Jon has presented Health-Based Recovery workshops internationally and throughout the United States. He has facilitated more than seventy-five clinical workshops in addiction assessment and treatment throughout the United States and has coached over three thousand online workshop participants. He co-presented an Addiction Recovery Workshop for Couples with best-selling author Michelle Weiner-Davis at the 2006 International Conference on Marriage and Family and has given numerous media interviews on the subject of sexual addiction.
