Rising from the Ashes: Terry Dunnage's Unforgettable Journey
“Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.”
Ever heard a story that left you in awe of human resilience? Meet Terry Dunnage, whose life took a harrowing turn when his uncle set him on fire in 2007. In this gripping episode of 'One For The Road', hosted by David Wilson, Terry opens up about his battle with addiction to bottled oxygen, prescription meds, class A and B drugs, and alcohol. His journey is one of unimaginable pain and incredible strength.
From a drug-induced coma to a near-fatal suicide attempt, Terry’s road to recovery was anything but smooth. Yet, against all odds, he founded the Terry Dunnage Foundation to support other burn victims and has become a passionate mental health advocate. This episode isn't just about the scars; it's about the healing and the hope that follows. Tune in to hear Terry’s powerful story of survival and his mission to help others find their own paths to recovery.
