Tad's Transformation: From Real Estate Mogul to Sober Advocate

I will never isolate, I will never be alone again, because there are other people who I can help and who will help me right back.
Tad was once a prominent figure in Atlanta's real estate scene, known for his business acumen and success. But behind the facade of his professional achievements, Tad was grappling with a drinking problem that eventually led to a DUI arrest and public scrutiny. In this eye-opening episode of 'Stories of Recovery', Tad opens up about his journey to sobriety and the lessons he learned along the way at MARR Addiction Treatment Centers.
Despite his professional success, Tad quickly realized that the skills that served him well in business did not necessarily translate to recovery. He had to confront his vulnerabilities and accept that he couldn't do it alone. Through the structured environment at MARR and the support of a compassionate community, Tad discovered the importance of aftercare programs and the power of accountability.
He talks candidly about how alcoholism affected his vision—both literally and metaphorically—and how acknowledging his weaknesses became a turning point in his recovery. Tad's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new way of life that offers peace and fulfillment. He emphasizes the role of community in staying sober, sharing how the support he received during moments of temptation was crucial in maintaining his sobriety.
Whether you're battling addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in stories of transformation, Tad's journey offers valuable insights and inspiration.
