"Addiction is like they're junkies, they're homeless people. It couldn't be him, couldn't be this guy running this business. Yeah, and yet you know, here I am talking to you about it, because it's very, you know, near and dear to my heart, and that's the stigma that needs to be removed and it's going to take really a movement."
Dan Springer's story is one of grit, resilience, and the power of second chances. In this episode of 'In Lehmann's Terms', host Emily Lehmann welcomes Dan, who has been clean and sober for over two decades. His journey wasn't a straight path—six rehab stays and numerous detoxes mark his road to recovery. But Dan's unwavering commitment to sobriety shines through as he shares his experiences and the lessons he's learned along the way.
At 55, Dan is not only a survivor but also a successful businessman and a loving husband to a fellow recovering addict. Together, they navigate the complexities of addiction and mental health. One of the most striking aspects of Dan's story is his mission to challenge the stigma that often surrounds addiction. Many people still associate addiction with homelessness or troubled backgrounds, but Dan's life as an executive in white-collar companies defies these stereotypes.
He believes it's crucial to change this narrative and offer a hand up to those struggling, rather than looking down on them. Throughout the episode, Dan and Emily discuss the importance of seeking help, especially during challenging times like the pandemic. They delve into the benefits of in-person support groups and the power of vulnerability in the recovery process. Dan's message is clear: perseverance and making amends with loved ones are key to lasting sobriety.
If you're seeking a story of hope, determination, and the fight against societal stigma, this episode is a must-listen.
