It doesn't matter if you install these things in your life, your life will improve.
What happens when a chef with a penchant for Jack Daniels and a pocketful of drugs decides to turn his life around? In this episode of 'Peji's Recovery Corner', host Pej Alaghamandan chats with Dave Gieselman, who swapped his chaotic kitchen life for a fulfilling role as a leadership coach. Dave doesn't hold back as he recounts his wild days in the culinary world, where addiction was as common as the daily specials.
He shares how his substance abuse not only jeopardized his career but also his life. But Dave's story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the climb back up. Through community support and a newfound sense of purpose, he found his way to sobriety. Pej and Dave dive into the importance of intention and service in recovery, emphasizing how helping others can be a powerful motivator for staying clean.
They also discuss the transformative power of the third step conversation, a pivotal moment in many recovery journeys. This episode is a compelling reminder that no matter how far you've fallen, there's always a way back up.
