These questions helped him build a foundation for recovery that has allowed him to thrive both personally and professionally.
Today, David is committed to helping others by sharing his experiences and working in a treatment facility. This episode is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding strength in adversity and creating a fulfilling life post-recovery. David's journey serves as a reminder that change is possible when you take responsibility for your actions and embrace the challenges life throws your way.
