OC39 - Dan H. Dealing with Anger, ADHD, and Following Your Heart Today I have a fun conversation for you. I invited Dan H to be on the podcast because he talks fast, has a lot of crazy stories and he's a lot of fun. But Dan also carries a recovery message of depth and weight. We had a wide ranging conversation that covered how he became an alcoholic, how his sister nearly died in his arms, but was saved through a series of unpredictable events, to his moment of clarity and the peaks and valleys over the last 30 years. He also shares how we went from "Angry Dan" to the gentleman he is today. He's a great father, a loving husband and an amazing acupuncturist. I hope you enjoy this episode as I did recording it. :) Peace & Love, Arlina

Welcome to ODAAT Chat, where we talk about how to stay sober, one day at a time. If you are new here, this is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and addiction. We typically spend the first half of the podcast on the backstory, but the magic is really in the solution, which is what we try to focus on. I'm looking to uncover not only the trauma and causes of addiction, but also the moments of clarity, the revelations, and the tools and practices for healing which lead to long term recovery. I'm here to support you, so leave any questions or comments you have here or on the Facebook page.
