Ever feel like life is a high stakes game where you're always teetering on the edge? You're not alone. Today's guest, David Golding, has lived it – he's battled addiction, faced down loneliness, and clawed his way back from the brink. David bravely shares how his struggles with alcohol, cocaine, and gambling spiraled into the near-destruction of his personal life and a multi-million dollar business, and the redemption that came with his journey to sobriety.
The story doesn't stop there. We dig deep into David's startling experiences with addiction and the havoc it wreaked on his relationships, featuring a revealing look into his journey through rehab and his relapse. His raw, honest account of battling his demons serves as a stark reminder of the tyranny of addiction. Yet, amidst the darkness, David found hope and motivation from a recovering peer, turning his life around and sparking a newfound gratitude for the life he now leads.
Our conversation takes a turn towards the philosophical as David opens up about his understanding of life, the universe, and his place within it all. He talks about the transformative power of acceptance and gratitude, the liberating experience of embracing one's insignificance, and the enduring journey towards recovery. His words are a testament to the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit and the beauty of taking that first, hesitant step towards change. Listen in and be inspired by David Golding's story of overcoming addiction and finding hope in the most unexpected of places.
