Recovery is not just about staying sober, it's about building a happy, healthy, and successful life. We need connection, we need community, and without that, you just can't thrive.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of addiction into a mission to help others? In this episode of The Sobriety Blueprint Podcast, host Jonathan Sylvester chats with Brad Mcleod, who opens up about his nearly decade-long journey of sobriety. Brad shares the raw truth about his early struggles with fitting in, which led him down a dark path of heroin addiction and time spent in institutions, jails, and rehabs. But his story doesn’t end there.
After getting clean, Brad found a new purpose as an addiction counselor at a residential treatment center for teenagers. This role became a cornerstone of his recovery, giving him the structure and connection he needed to thrive. Now, Brad is not just a father to a two-year-old daughter but also a successful online marketer helping recovery-focused companies grow their social media presence.
He also created the Clean And Sober Love dating app, designed to help people in recovery find love without the pressure of meeting at bars or other risky environments. Throughout the episode, Brad emphasizes the importance of finding purpose, mentorship, and community in recovery. He candidly discusses the challenges he faced with online coaching and how he pivoted to find work that truly resonated with him.
Brad’s journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about staying sober; it's about building a fulfilling life. Tune in to hear Brad's inspiring story and gain valuable insights into what it takes to thrive in recovery.
