Garet Mcleandon | Fighting For Sobriety, Faith, Being A Present Father And Service To Others

Knockin‘ Doorz Down

Join me, Jason LaChance host of the @KnockinDoorzDown certified addiction recovery coach, and mental health advocate for my sit down with a fellow brother in recovery, Garet Mclendon.

Garet’s struggles with addiction and trouble with the law almost seemed inevitable. Growing up in a broken home, in which his mother was an addict. Running with the wrong crowd was commonplace and this led to experimenting with different substances and eventually dropping out of School. He would become a full-blown meth and heroin addict. He was sometimes taking his young daughter with him to score or deal. After stints in jail, prison, and a couple of treatment facilities. Garet transformed his life and had a spiritual awakening that led him to long-term sobriety and a thriving member of society. Garet remains grounded in the AA program and explores what faith means to him. Now a single father who is present with all of his children he strives daily to be of service to others.
