The Sober New Yorker

Dr. Brett's Redemption Story


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brett Kessler — former President of the American Dental Association, triathlete, husband, father, and a man whose life has been completely transformed through recovery. Now almost 28 years sober, Dr. Brett shares his journey from addiction and self-destruction to becoming a powerful force for healing and service.

We talk about the role recovery played in rebuilding his life, career, and purpose, and how he became known for helping people struggling with addiction restore their smiles after years of damage from methamphetamine and substance use — often paying for the work himself simply because he wanted to give back.

This conversation is full of hope, resilience, perspective, and positivity. Dr. Brett is living proof that recovery doesn’t just change your life — it allows you to become the kind of person who changes the lives of others.
