Dave Cavalier's Path to Sobriety and Lung Transplant: A Story of Resilience

I sometimes wish I didn't drink at all because I do have more energy and I don't know if it's a steroid, but I'm going to give non-alcohol the reason it can be done.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around amidst overwhelming challenges? In this episode of 'Friends in Recovery', Mike Miles sits down with Dave Cavalier, who shares his remarkable journey from addiction to sobriety and the life-changing experience of a double lung transplant. Dave opens up about his diagnosis and the tough road he had to travel, including the weight loss required to qualify for the transplant.
He had to give up smoking cigars and drinking, attending AA meetings three times a week. Since August 2017, Dave has been sober, and his story is a testament to the power of determination and resilience. He even shares some lighter moments, like a story about Jack Lemon and tales from the Congressional Club, where he rubbed shoulders with famous personalities like Bill Clinton. This episode is packed with valuable resources for anyone seeking help with addiction recovery.
Dave's journey also highlights the crucial role of organ donation and its profound impact on lives. Tune in to hear how Dave continues to maintain his sobriety and the positive changes it has brought to his energy levels and overall well-being.
