Today it’s all about family, they never gave up on me.
Imagine being deported and banned for life from a country because of a criminal record. That's the reality Brad Macleod faced as a three-time felon. But Brad's story doesn't end there. He's a person in long-term recovery from heroin addiction, and today, he's the driving force behind the popular social media platform, Sober Motivation, with over 600,000 followers.
In this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks', Brad opens up to host Daniel Unmanageable about his tumultuous journey from rock bottom to becoming a beacon of hope in the recovery community. Brad's childhood was riddled with struggles and feelings of failure, leading him down a dark path of addiction. His parents' last-ditch effort to save him involved sending him to a wilderness program in Tennessee, which marked the beginning of his recovery journey.
After serving time in jail, where he spent a year reflecting and finding mentors, Brad emerged with a renewed sense of purpose. He began working as a clinical caseworker at a treatment center and launched Sober Motivation to share stories of recovery. Today, Brad's platform is a lifeline for many, offering inspiration and support. He's also involved with Sober Buddy, a sober tracking app, encouraging others to seek support and mentorship in their own recovery journeys.
Brad's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of community support. Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and continues to inspire others on their paths to recovery.
