I just wanted the coke to sober up, to drink more... Alcohol was removed instantly, but there was enough going on every day that, like I didn't know it. And these three drill instructors brought me out to the tree line and like just, you know they couldn't hit you then anymore.
Imagine balancing the intensity of serving in the Marines with the glamour of performing on Broadway. That's exactly what Brendan Walsh has done, all while battling and ultimately overcoming a severe alcohol addiction. In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Brendan sits down with Pete Sousa to share his incredible journey of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of sobriety.
From his early days of drinking to fit in, to hitting rock bottom during his military service, Brendan's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows. But it's not just about the struggle; it's about the triumphs too. Brendan talks candidly about his experiences in 12-step meetings in Hoboken, New Jersey, where he and Pete first crossed paths nearly a decade ago.
They dive into how these meetings provided a lifeline and a sense of community that was crucial for his recovery. Post-military life saw Brendan chasing his passion for theater, landing roles on Broadway and TV shows like 'The Blacklist'. Yet, despite the glitz and glamour, it was his commitment to sobriety that kept him grounded and thriving. Brendan's journey is a testament to the power of community support and the magic that happens when you choose sobriety.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or know someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical insights into the transformative journey of recovery.
