Brad's Journey: From the Streets to a New Life
By drinking, you refuse to believe that you can lose control of your ability to stop.
Picture this: A man who has faced unimaginable hardships, from childhood abuse to homelessness, and yet, finds a way to rebuild his life. In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield and Chris Goss sit down with Brad, who opens up about his incredible journey.

Despite these challenges, Brad's determination to protect his brother led him to petition the court to live with their father and stepmother. But life didn't get easier.

Brad credits the unwavering love and support of his wife and daughter for giving him the acceptance he never received growing up.
This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the path may seem, recovery is possible with the right support and mindset. Tune in to hear Brad's inspiring story and discover how he turned his life around.
