Imagine growing up in a home where addiction is the norm, not the exception. That was Garet Mcleandon's reality.

Garet's story begins in a broken home, with a mother battling her own demons.
His path seemed set in stone: dropping out of school, running with the wrong crowd, and diving headfirst into meth and heroin addiction. He even took his young daughter along on drug runs. But this isn't just a tale of darkness. It's about the light that followed. After multiple stints in jail and rehab, Garet experienced a spiritual awakening that led him to long-term sobriety.
Now, as a single father, he is present and engaged with his children and dedicates his life to serving others. Garet's candid discussion covers the pivotal moments that led to his sobriety, how he stopped making excuses for his actions, and the importance of gratitude and faith in his recovery. This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone seeking inspiration and proof that transformation is possible.
