In this episode of the Sober Motivation podcast, host Brad McLeod brings together three inspiring guests: Sober Dave, Kristen, and Manny Vitale. Each of them shares their unique journey through recovery, offering a mix of personal anecdotes and broader insights that will resonate with anyone on a similar path. Sober Dave, also known as Dave Wilson, talks about his transformation into a trauma-informed coach and the challenges of bringing sobriety discussions into corporate settings.
He emphasises the importance of understanding the root causes of addiction and the resistance he faces in corporate environments where alcohol issues are often downplayed.

She discusses the tools she uses to manage anxiety and the blessings that sobriety has brought into her life. Manny Vitale's story is nothing short of miraculous.
From being a former police officer struggling with severe addiction to surviving multi-organ failure, Manny now dedicates his life to helping others through his initiative, 'My Fight Our War'. His journey from the brink of death to celebrating five years of sobriety is a testament to resilience and the power of community support.
