Garet Mclendon shares his remarkable journey from a life of crime and addiction to over ten years of sobriety in this episode of The Payoff with Pete. Garet's story is raw and compelling, filled with moments of despair and triumph. He talks about his early years, where his life was consumed by drugs and the fast money that came with it.
Garet’s transformation began after numerous stints in jail and a final realisation that he needed to change for his family, especially his children. Now, a full-time dad, Garet reflects on the importance of being present and the joy he finds in simple moments like neighbourhood kids visiting his home. His candid conversation with Pete covers the highs and lows of his recovery, the support he found in Alcoholics Anonymous, and the spiritual awakening that keeps him grounded.
Garet’s story is not just about getting sober but also about finding a new purpose and reconnecting with loved ones. If you’re looking for a powerful tale of redemption and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
