In Part 2 of our compelling series with Station West, we continue the deep dive into the realities of addiction and recovery in aviation, focusing on the unique challenges faced by pilots battling substance abuse. This honest conversation unpacks the truth behind alcoholism, the withdrawal process, and why recovery is impossible alone.

Through personal stories and hard-earned wisdom, Staton explains why addiction is a separate force from the individual, and how surrender, treatment, and community support pave the way to lasting freedom. We also highlight the misconceptions around being an alcoholic, the structure of the 12-step program, and the daily choices that maintain sobriety.

Whether you’re a pilot, aviation professional, or someone seeking hope, this episode will inspire you with tools, encouragement, and the reminder that you’re not alone. Recovery is not just possible—it’s a better way to live.
