Sarah Drage: Turning Tragedy into Advocacy
“You don't know what he's been through, you don't know what has led him to that. Whereas you can't go in, you go into a supermarket and alcohol is advertised.”
Imagine losing a loved one to alcoholism and turning that pain into a powerful movement. That's exactly what Sarah Drage did after her father, Steve, passed away from alcoholism at just 59 years old. In this episode of 'One For The Road', hosted by the empathetic SoberDave, Sarah shares her heart-wrenching yet inspiring story. She believes that the stigma and shame surrounding alcoholism played a significant role in her father's untimely death.
Determined to make a difference, Sarah founded Warrior Kind, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about alcoholism and mental health, and funding treatment for those in need. Her mission is to break down the barriers of stigma and offer hope to others facing similar struggles. Sarah's journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of turning personal tragedy into a force for good.
Tune in to hear her discuss the importance of clinical support, breaking addiction cycles, and how she’s working tirelessly to ensure that others don't have to suffer in silence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction or looking to support a loved one through their recovery journey.
