Brad McLeod on Quit Drinking, Recovery, and Sober Motivation

He spent his days trying to find $15 in his pocket. That was enough for a case of beer, two packs of menthols, and another afternoon outside himself. He slept on his brother's floor. He'd already done time. He couldn't stop.This week on One for the Road, Dave sits down with his good friend Brad McLeod, host of the Sober Motivation podcast. Brad shares the full arc, from a kid moved across countries, to a teenager locked in a residential treatment unit, to a young man running through a beehive to escape rehab transport. He talks about heroin, jail, deportation, and the airport moment that finally cracked him open.Today Brad's an addiction counsellor, a husband, a dad of three, and a voice thousands of people in recovery rely on.If you've ever felt like you can't stop, this conversation is for you.
