In Episode 31, Dave talks about how a big part of treatment is developing a sense of awareness of oneself. While caught up in the vicious cycle of substance abuse, he underestimated the severity of it. It was only until he was free that he could really see how much he had been hurting the people around him. He decided to turn his life around and started helping people instead, and as of today he has helped treat over 3,000 people.

American Addiction Centers (AAC) presents “Far From Finished,” a weekly podcast that shares the real-life stories of people who survived addiction to thrive in recovery. In Episode 31, Dave talks about how a big part of treatment is developing a sense of awareness of oneself. Looking back he realizes that he started doing things that he normally wouldn’t do when he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol — it became the new normal. The path he was taking had a significant impact on those close to him as he hurt his family members and his coworkers. Everyone around him felt the wrath of his drinking. It was a downward spiral where he truly felt possessed by something that was bigger than him. Realizing his problem, Dave asked for help and began his journey towards recovery, which he believes is the best thing he’s ever done. Now in recovery Dave has paid it forward by opening his own rehab facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. As of today he has helped treat over 3,000 people.
