Dave LaFave's Road to Sobriety: A Counselor's Tale of Triumph

I've never been in jail and I've never been arrested. And what did it for me was, you know the farm does something that I don't, I don't think many other agencies do, which is to you know, we take clients to the community like physically, like put them in a van and drive them to a meeting- and this is before covid, of course, and arriving One Day at primary purpose and looking around at, you know Jerry Foucher, Malinov, you know mr b and these dignitaries, these, these, these people of of long sobriety like you, and thinking this can't be real.
What happens when someone turns their darkest moments into a beacon of hope for others? Meet Dave LaFave, an RSS Counselor at Dawn Farm in Ann Arbor, who has been sober for over five years. In this episode of The Recovering CEO Podcast, Dave opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery and how he now dedicates his life to helping others do the same.
Fondly known as Davey, he shares the personal struggles that led him to seek help and the pivotal moments that changed his life. Through his candid storytelling, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs that come with addiction and recovery. Dave's story isn't just about his own recovery; it's about the power of community and the unique approach Dawn Farm takes in treating addiction.
By physically taking clients to meetings, they emphasize the importance of community exposure in the healing process. Dave also highlights the role of self-reflection in his journey, explaining how listening more and talking less helped him find clarity and connection. Now, as a case manager, he plays a vital role in guiding others through their own recovery journeys.
