Dave's Battle: Overcoming Addiction One Step at a Time

I lost my leg so I couldn't work and do the job I was trained for. So I switched to hard alcohol, and then a pint, and then a fifth, and then, over a period of years, that worked up to a handle- the largest bottle that you can get.
Dave's journey through addiction is nothing short of a rollercoaster. In this gripping episode, host Paul Noddings sits down with Dave, affectionately known as 'Dave One-Leg', to uncover the raw and unfiltered details of his battle with alcoholism. It all started after a tragic accident that cost Dave his leg, leaving him unable to work and spiraling into a life dominated by alcohol.
What began as a few beers to numb the pain quickly turned into a full-blown addiction to hard liquor and eventually, a handle of vodka a day. His life became a series of chaotic events, affecting not just him but everyone around him. Yet, amidst the turmoil, Dave found a glimmer of hope through the unwavering support of his family.
This episode delves into the dark depths of addiction but also highlights the incredible strength it takes to seek help and begin the path to recovery. If you're grappling with addiction or know someone who is, Dave's story serves as a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn things around. Tune in for an inspiring tale of resilience, family support, and the relentless pursuit of sobriety.
