One of the greatest discoveries of my life is that I can alter my life by altering my attitude.
Colonel Dan's story is one of bravery, both in the skies and on the ground. In this compelling episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', host Pete Sousa sits down with Colonel Dan, a decorated fighter pilot who flew 159 combat missions in Vietnam. Despite his fearless service, Dan faced an equally daunting battle with alcoholism upon returning home.

Dan's career in the Air Force was abruptly halted by his addiction, yet his journey didn't end there. He found solace and strength in Alcoholics Anonymous, where sponsorship and the power of prayer played pivotal roles in his recovery.
Now sober for over 30 years, Colonel Dan shares how altering his attitude was key to transforming his life. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, illustrating that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset. Tune in to hear Colonel Dan's inspiring tale of resilience and redemption.
