From Hockey Dreams to Sobriety: Brady Kramer's Journey
“You know, addiction is really serious. And um, and you know, I've been walking a very thin line and I know this without the support groups, podcasts, like you have meetings, um, the fellowship that I've been involved, I would not be able to do it.”
What happens when your dreams of sports stardom are derailed by anxiety and depression? Brady Kramer knows all too well. Born in Philadelphia, Brady's talent on the ice earned him a full athletic scholarship to Providence College and a contract with the Montreal Canadiens. But after just 18 minor league games, his career came to a halt as he battled mental health issues.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Unsweetened Sio', Brady opens up about his struggles with alcohol, his path to sobriety, and the life he's built since quitting drinking in 2011. Now a dedicated member of Alcoholics Anonymous, Brady also speaks to youths about mental health, offering a beacon of hope for those grappling with similar challenges. Whether you're facing addiction or supporting someone who is, Brady's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is within reach.
