16: HOW TO GET SOBER IN ONE DAY

Overcome Depression for Christians, Catholics, and Latter-day Saints

Do you believe that an alcoholic can get sober in one day? Chad does...because he did. This conversation is about redemption, responsibility, and the courage to rewrite one’s story. Chad Peper once believed he could manage alcohol addiction just fine…until reality forced a major wake-up call. This conversation is about redemption, responsibility, and the courage to rewrite one’s story. Chad’s addiction lasted for 10 years and significantly impacted his life, though he hid his secret extremely well from his friends and colleagues. Despite a DUI arrest in 2016, Chad relapsed after a brief period of sobriety. However, his biggest turning point came in Novebmer 2017, when he realized he was going to be a father, and decided that he didn’t want to be an absent or irresponsible dad. And in that moment, he made a firm decision to quit drinking completely. Quite literally, once he made the decision, he became sober in one day.
