Pat's Story of Sobriety: Addiction, 9/11, and The Grateful Dead | Episode 20

from Sober Spill · host Mountainside

In this Recovery Month and 9/11 special, Isabel sits down with Pat McCarthy to talk about Pat’s emotional, and unforgettable story of addiction and recovery. Pat opens up about how alcoholism nearly destroyed his life and how his turning point—September 11, 2001—set him on a path to lasting sobriety. From his days chasing Grateful Dead shows to becoming a leader in recovery support, Pat shares the lessons, laughs, and love that come with sobriety. Now, decades later, he’s built a life filled with love, family, and purpose while giving back to others in recovery. This conversation is proof that it’s never too late to change your story. If you’ve ever wondered what long-term recovery looks like—or how hope can grow out of chaos—this is an episode you can’t miss. #AddictionRecovery #SoberLife #RecoveryMonth #SobrietyStories #RecoveryPodcast
