I received a life-saving liver and kidney transplant and miraculously turned my whole life around to help others with their addiction.
In this compelling episode of One For The Road, host Sober Dave is joined by Will Gordon, a man whose story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston as the youngest of four brothers, Will was surrounded by athleticism and competitiveness, traits that shaped his early life. However, beneath this seemingly normal exterior, Will battled crippling anxiety and an overwhelming desire to fit in, leading him to alcohol at the tender age of 14.
For years, Will's drinking escalated, eventually reaching a point where he was given just two weeks to live due to severe liver damage. Miraculously, he received a life-saving liver and kidney transplant, an experience filled with complications and reflection. This pivotal moment marked a turning point in Will's life, leading him to commit to helping others avoid the dark path he once walked. Will has since dedicated himself to spreading awareness about alcohol addiction and its devastating consequences.
He launched The Will Power Podcast and actively shares his story on social media, hoping to reach as many people as possible. Through his platform, Will offers check-ins and insights, aiming to educate others about the warning signs of addiction and the importance of mental health. Throughout the episode, Will emphasizes the need for individuals to take proactive steps in monitoring their health, particularly their liver function.

Sober Dave concludes the episode by encouraging listeners to support the podcast and stay tuned for future episodes. Will Gordon's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of helping others, offering hope and inspiration to all who listen.
