Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life around from the depths of addiction? This episode of 'Sober on Purpose' brings you the compelling story of Dave Albin, a man who faced his demons head-on and emerged stronger. At just 11 years old, Dave had his first encounter with alcohol, and by 14, he was already dabbling in hard drugs.
Fast forward nearly two decades, and a pivotal moment in June 1988 led him to Alcoholics Anonymous, marking the beginning of his recovery journey. Hosted by Tanya Gioia, this episode dives into Dave's life, exploring not just his battles with addiction but also his incredible transformation through personal development.

Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Dave's insights on embracing love, gratitude, and the power of community offer invaluable guidance. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation that promises to inspire and uplift.
