“From a Blackout in a Parking Lot to Sobriety on the Runway – David’s Miraculous Journey of Acceptance and Surrender”
Seth sits down with David, a Delta pilot whose black out drinking led to losing his wings, his home, and nearly his family, only to reclaim it all through radical honesty and a zero-tolerance sobriety program that will monitor him the rest of his life. This episode is a masterclass in how alcoholism is a rapacious creditor, how rock bottom is necessary, and why we sometimes need to lose it all in order to have it all
This discussion includes: 🔹 A 0.32 BAC in a parking lot that cost him his pilot’s license for 987 days 🔹 The humbling experience of going from pilot to professional painter 🔹 His Facebook video that went viral and the importance of life experience and sharing
🔹 Sometimes what we don’t want, is exactly what we need. And our life experience is of supreme value.
David’s story proves addiction doesn’t care about your job title, income, status, or privilege, but rather that through recovery we get to rewrite our future.
