Summary
This is our last show for January 2019 and we are shutting it down with an intense topic, surviving the dark night of the soul.
We all fight inner battles. Most of us struggle alone. Today, one of our Dad Edge Alliance team leads opens up about how alcoholism and depression led him to the brink of suicide. He lost his job, his house, his wife, and was bankrupt. He was overweight and unhealthy from the constant booze, cocaine, and cigarettes. But one day, something clicked and he decided to fight his way back to the light.
Listen to his story from hopelessness to the heroic triumph over the battle within.
