What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? For Dan Sheridan, it was a life-or-death situation. In this episode of 'One For The Road,' host David Wilson, also known as SoberDave, chats with Dan about his harrowing yet inspiring journey to sobriety. Dan's story is a rollercoaster of emotions, from battling alcoholism to facing a life-threatening liver failure and ultimately receiving a life-saving transplant. It's not just about quitting alcohol; it's about the deep inner work that follows.

Dan recounts his early life, growing up feeling like an outsider, and how he turned to alcohol at a young age as a way to fit in. His alter ego, "Big Dan," became a shield to hide his true self. However, the façade crumbled when his health took a dire turn. Diagnosed with cirrhosis in 2019, Dan was given a grim prognosis.

Yet, it wasn't until he found himself on the brink of death in 2020 that he truly committed to change. Throughout the conversation, Dan shares candid reflections on the importance of addressing underlying traumas and finding one's identity beyond alcohol. With humour and honesty, he discusses the challenges of recovery and the support systems that helped him rebuild his life.

This episode is not just a story of survival but a testament to the transformative power of facing one's demons head-on. Are you ready to be moved by Dan's incredible journey? Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and found hope in the darkest times.
