I recently had the pleasure of chatting with David Zailer, an author and addiction recovery specialist. As someone who struggled with alcohol, drugs, and other addictions for years, David has an incredible story of redemption that I think you'll find compelling and hopeful. In our conversation, David shares openly about his journey to sobriety after getting arrested, as well as the underlying issues he had to face along the way. I was particularly moved by his perspective on the value of community and accountability in the recovery process. He offers fantastic insight into the nature of addiction and why quick fixes rarely work. Let me know your key takeaways in the comments!
