Imagine being born with a rare kidney disease and facing the daunting challenge of addiction. That's Brad Waldron's story. In this episode of 'Finding Strength', Brad opens up about his life with cystinosis, a condition that brought him to the brink of multiple kidney transplants. The physical and emotional pain led him down a dark path of painkiller addiction. But this isn't just a tale of struggle—it's one of incredible resilience and transformation.
Brad found a lifeline in the Addict II Athlete community and therapy, which helped him stay sober for 12 years. Now, he's not just surviving; he's thriving, actively seeking a new kidney and relishing every moment of life. His journey underscores the power of support systems and the importance of finding purpose.
