On this weeks episode of One For The Road I am join by Dan Sherian.

In May 2020, after years of alcoholism, deep identity loss, and hiding behind an avatar known as “Big Dan,” his world came crashing down.

In 2019, he was diagnosed with cirrhosis. The following year, after undergoing an endoscopy, he found him self fighting for his life in intensive care after total liver failure and a massive gastrointestinal bleed. He was clinically dead for under a minute. That moment marked the beginning of his long road to recovery, which ultimately led to a life-saving liver transplant in June 2023. For many years, he avoided taking accountability for his life. Depression, unhealed trauma, and addiction left him stuck in a victim mindset, when in reality there were deeper issues that needed to be faced and healed. Through the incredible support of the team at Turning Point, and by becoming a peer mentor himself. In 2022, he met his amazing wife on TikTok. Nearly three years into marriage, they now live a life filled with love, gratitude, and genuine happiness. Today, life looks very different: morning coffee, walking the dogs, smiling as each day begins, looking forward with hope, and only glancing at the past rather than living in it.
